No power? Check this plug.

The other day I went out to use my tractor and it was stone cold dead , I thought anyway. I got out my test light. I had battery power. Jumped the starter and it turned over fine but wouldn't run. I started checking wire plugs for juice. The culprit was the one going to the ignition under the steering wheel. The connectors were extremely dirty. I pulled the wires out of the connectors and cleaned all of them. I put it all back together using die-electric grease. She is working fine once again. Hopefully this info will help someone in the future.

Jim, I forget....do you have a cab or open station? My open station stuff gets really dirty/dusty her in South Texas. A good face filter and an air compressor blower nozzle helps to get it clean....somewhat.

Open cab. This was not caused by dirt of water. This plug was not plugged in all the way and was arcing inside the plug. Nothing was burned up, just discolored. I forgot to mention that in the first post. The dielectric grease will keep this from happening again.
