Z Force 50 wont start, no ticking/clicking

[Volkelrunner74]

Hey guys, Im tryin to help my grandparents out. My grandfather brought a Z Force 50 back in 07.. The tractor has 119 hrs on it.. It will not crank, turn over etc. It wont even making a ticking or clicking nosie when you turn the switch. The Pto is off and parking break is engaged and levers are in neutral position. I've disconnected all connectors and cleaned them and have replaced the battery. Im at a total lost! Please help. Thanks guys.

Check the spade connectors at the starter. I have one connector that vibrates loose at times and gives me those symptoms.

I don't know if the seat on your Z Force 50 is the same as on my Z Force, but the seat safety switch gives me fits sometimes. I really think the way it's designed and the way it's supposed to activate is not great. I've taken it off, cleaned, reseated, etc., and eventually I always get it to start behaving again.

Also, on occasion I have not had one of the steering levers fully pushed out away all the way, even though I moved them out and they look all the way out.

A couple things to check out anyway...

I had forgotten what GolfAddict mentioned. I have had one of the leavers push the tab that holds the safety switch back just far enough that it would not engage...looked good. Took awhile to figure that out and then a simple bend and all was fine.
