Mystery part

[TVZ]

I don't hear anything when I turn the key one notch. When I turn it a little farther, to activate the glow plug, I hear a kind of rattly noise from the engine area. When I turn it farther, to activate the starter, the starter is all I hear.

The fuel pump is quiet. It makes a clicking sound.

If you don't hear it, I would start checking the power to it. You should feel it vibrate a little, if you can touch it.

They sometimes they put in line fuses near the fuse box, that are not actually inside the fuse box. So, check all around there for a blown fuse.

Ideally, you unplug the pump and test for hot and ground. As well as test the pump, by attaching power directly to it. This may be difficult, due to the fact that it is a subcompact tractor.

On previous models, there have been ignition switch wires, broken or corroded. Try and at least do a visual inspection for those.

If I'm understanding your engine is turning over but not starting?

When was the last time it ran?

Did you perform any maintenance since it last ran?

Is your battery in good condition?

Have you checked all your safeties, PTO not engaged, sitting in seat, transmission in neutral, brake on.....?

Check for a thermistor in the power line to the fuel/pump solenoid.
