Seeking Help Again with Bx25 no Start

LeitchesCreekbx25 · Oct 17, 2009

Attempt to start my bx25 and nothing happens I get a red symbol like one of the safty switches is on.I have the park brake on and am in neutral.Pto off and can hear the clicking of the solonoid engaging but the engine won`t crank. I have tried to jumper each of the 3 safty switches and all are worken fine.

I have had the negative battery cable off for a while before this happened.No help from the manuel and I have read alot of threads here but too no avail.I`m sure I`m missing something simple.
Thanks for any Help.

Just some additional thoughts: Mid pto engaged? Cycle your hst pedal as it may get locked occasionally.

Did you try jumping the tractor it sounds like a loose connection or low battery my 5 year old 23's battery is showing its age and dose the same thing I jump with my truck and it spins over fine and starts.

Rock your hydrastatic pedal and see if it can find its safety neutral position. Any slight movement can impact this scenario.

Tried to boost the battery and I have the back of the tractor off the ground so I now it is in neutral.I have the front cowling off and have tried moving all the levers while the ignition is on and still no luck. I did have the rear hst shaft out but this shouldn`t effect it? She is locked out somewheres won`t even turn over.I was jumpering the safty out one at a time but maybe there are 2 faulty ones.I will try jumpering them all out next.Unless I`m missing another safty switch somehweres.
Thanks again for the Help Fellas.

I agree with others: it sounds like the HST pedal isn't centered.

my money is on a defective solenoid or starter.

also, wasn't there some trouble with the ignition switches on some of the bx series?

I have the center floor board out and was wondering if you could explain more on this subject.Do you mean the pedal itself is out of center?
Thanks for the help.I looked in the manuel and it says that the light that is on is a low oil pressure light but I`ve seen this light come on when I had the pto engaged and she wouldn`t start .
