Jinma 284 no electical

Please note running the tractor with the key/power off will not charge the battery so it will slowly die each time you jump it.

also note that the jumping would not work if there was a + or - issue at the battery.

like other said main fuse is the first place I would look

Thanks again for all the helpful replies. I went over to the daughters with test light, multimeter. jumpers and half my garage of tools. Guess what? First check as directed was the main fuse. Bingo, Replaced with new one and everything working as suppose to. I'm guessing the son-in-law didn't trouble shoot as well as he said. One note , the blown fuse was a 40 amp instead of a 30 amp as the fuse box indicated. I believe the original owner who I purchased the tractor from probably had the same issue and upped the fuse amp. to fix the blown fuse problem instead of looking for the real problem. Anyway the tractor is home and running great.

Thanks again

Now you need to find the real problem... 30A fuses don't just blow. I would reccomend hand over handing the wire downstream from that fuse, untill it reaches the other fuses. IE: Thru the amp gauge, the key switch, and back to the fuse panel, and from the start switch thru the clutch switch and out to the starter solenoid. you are looking for places where wires may have contacted structure and rubbed thru the insulation. Or places, such as the key switch where the terminal lugs may have gotten loose and rotated enough to contact something they shouldn't. Since it dosn't need the power to run, it could have blown at any time while running, and not really been noticed by someone who dosn't watch the gauges...

Overfusing, Well that is just an excuse for a complete rewire. After the fire of course

Good luck
