THANKS to all ! It's FIXED and I'm a happy camper. It was a blown fuse for the instrument panel ! I had NO idea such a fuse would keep it from cranking. And the Kubota dealer BTW said that indeed the B7500 does NOT have a safety switch for the seat. So after reseating the safety switches for the PTO and clutch I was out of ideas (unless it was the ignition switch). Anyway, I'm back in business, now if we'd just get some rain (north of Austin TX).
Regards,
Bob
