NH Tractor won\'t turn over.

Jumped into my tractor today (New Holland TC45) and it would not turn over. Dash lights, battery ok. Anyone have any ideas where to start looking? Ignition switch? Starter?

I'd look for a loose or bad connection on any the several safety switches. PTO levers, Transmission, etc.

Fuse #2 on Fuse Block.

Re: NH Tractor won\'t turn over.

If your PTO is NOT engaged and the PTO light is on, Fuse #2 is a good start as Chris mentioned. You should also check that the PTO is not engaged and the Hi-Lo Range shifter is in neutral. Either of these will stop the engine from turning over.

After that, you should start looking for loose wires that have been pulled off your neutral sensing switch or the PTO sensor under the operator's platform on the left side of the running gear.

I think the seat switch will still allow the engine to turn over, but will just keep the engine from starting.

On my 2120, the pto lever has to be fiddled a bit, too. Had me stumped for a while the first time I went to start it.

I used to have a Kubota that never turned over until one day my tenant tried to move a BIG rock with the FEL on a side hill. When I got back the tractor was balanced on the steering wheel and loader bucket(no ROPS)- tennant OK but shook up and very embarassed.... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Next week my 4300JD goes in for its ROPS recall....

Re: NH Tractor won\'t turn over.

just a thought, but lights can work when the engine wont turn over because of poor connections on the battery terminals. the terminals will be able to draw just enough current for lights, but not to start the engine. try cleaning the battery terminals and connections and see if that works.
