No power

Used tractor in the morning took a break for 3 hrs when I went to start the tractor nothing ligh comes in but won't start. New starter/selinoid, pto clutch. Thinking it might be the break switch. Any ideas it is a nd x500

Have any fuses anywhere?

 

[stykemainb]

All the fuses are good

Grasping at straws, here, but recheck the battery clamps. If one of those is even slightly loose, it may reduce the available voltage below the threshold for the starter solenoid, while still lighting the dash lights.

I will check that when I get off work

make sure the battery terminals are bight and tight and check the ground connections on the chasis. they need to be bright and tight also. make sure the starter safety switches are working properly. Is the charging system keeping the battery charged?

 

[stykemainb]

Yes the charging system is working good what sacity switchs are you taliking about I have a new break switch ordered

I had another thought on this...once, the ignition switch on the dash/column loosened up slightly and didn't have a proper ground. I know the engine wouldn't turn over, but I can't remember if any of the other electrical devices (lights, radio, etc.) were powered or not.

Most newer tractor have safety switch in the seat bottom, on the clutch pedal or the gear box and the pto lever. If you are not in the seat, if the clutch isn't depressed or the transmission isn't in neutral,l and the pto is not off, you get no current to energize the starter solenoid.

Is there some sort seat safety device?

Check for rodent damage too.
