Hey Guys, can a bad starter selnoid cause the pto light to stay on? And I put power from the battery to the clip where purple start wire attaches and hear fairly loud click but no starter engaged. So took starter off had it tested at parts store checked ok. It extended and spun fine. I take it home put jumper cables on it and same as before selnoid will extend but will not spin. What do you think. I have replaced both battery cables. Installed the Napa switch and all fuses are good. Except does blow the 7.5 #2 fuse when i turn on the headlights. I believe this is something to do with the pto light being on. I need some help on this for sure. Thanks

Welcome to TBN.
It would help if you told us what type of tractor you have, but I'll take a stab at it:
TC35 Wont Start. Total Silence.
Make sure your battery is good and fully charged.

62stud has a TC33 according to his profile. That's why I'm going to suggest that he read the sticky post at the top of the NH Owning/Operating forum.
...and in answer to his question. Yes, the solenoid on your starter can cause the #2 fuse to blow and subsequently the PTO ON light to illuminate. The starter has pull-in (high current) contacts and hold-in (low current) contacts. If the starter voltage is low to the solenoid and it cannot get to the hold-in position, the higher current will persist and cause fuse #2 to blow. It's a common problem that more and more of our tractors seem to be experiencing.

Thanks for the info on my New Holland TC33D start problem.its really got me down tried just about everything i have the know how to try. Can't seem to trace anything down. I have ordered a starter. Can't get parts close to home. Love my tractor but these electrical issues are a real pain. I will let ya know how things go. Thanks Jim

62 stud I had a tc33d and the pto light will stay on if the safety switch wires have been pulled apart near the left rear tire. May not be the problem but something to check

Are you positive you have the NAPA ignition switch wired correctly. Does this switch have the exact functions of the factory switch. I havn"t had verry good luck making universal switches work properly.

Yes got same one off this site and wired the same. The glow pplug timer just needs power it times out itself. Then power to the purple switch wire on mine. I just know when i send power straight to the starter clip where the purple wire attaches it does extend the starter but will not spin it.
