In the diagram below, I have indicated "test points" (ie: 1, 2 & 3) where to touch a terminal with the other end of a jumper wire, and it will identify where the problem is. Starting at the Solenoid, work your way back to the source (battery). Bear in mind, the PTO Switch has to be off, and the brake pedal has to be depressed. Additionally, the key switch has to be in the "start position ".

Oh lordy lordy the all important fuse that has certainly has to be good for it to get voltage through to the sol. I guess I didnt even ask about that because one would assume that's the first thing you would check. Good call!
