Jinma Tractor won't start

[jb7919]

While adding diesel to my Jinma 254 tractor I was warming the glow plugs. The tractor had "juice" at this time as the battery was on and gas gauge indicated it went from 1/4 to a full tank. I went to start the engine and nothing happened. No clicks, no sound, nothing. Now the needle on the gas gauge does not even move past the E mark for empty.

I put a battery charger on it for several hours and again nothing.

Any suggestions to what is wrong or get this engine started would be appreciated.

Thank you.

the first thing that comes to my mind when reading your post is , either bad ground at the frame or blown main fuse.

Bypass clutch switch briefly to see if thats the culprit. Mines been out for a year and it was a new one and only lasted 1 year. bjr

Thank you for the help. Ground is okay. I identified a blown 30amp fuse. You were most helpful! Thanks again.

Clutch was not the culprit. Problem was a blown fuse. Thanks for the input.
