So, shes running again. I don't know where the problem was for sure because all I did was unplug about every connector I could find, cleaned everything up and plugged them back in. It fired after messing with the ignition switch plug which I had trouble with before ad thought I had fixed. On a positive side, Lew sent me a harness for my lights awhile back and after hooking everything up, the lights still didn't work. I assumed I had bad bulbs but hadn't dug back into yet. Today while gong through the wiring, I realized the wire to the lights was not plugged into the ignition switch connector. Now the tractor is running again and the lights work!

My comment about letting equipment sit out in the weather wasn't directed at you but the symptoms you report here sound just like many that have sat out in the weather.
At your leisure, I'd go back and re-visit that ignition switch/connector 'cause I think you're going to be back in there again. Maybe not at your convenience.
About half the Cyclops tractors I've bought, they have some kind of electrical problem but I've found that once they are truly FIXED, and the tractor not exposed to the elements, they will continue to give trouble free service for a long time.
If you get in a pinch, it doesn't take much to hot wire one to get your grass cut. Not that I'm recommending you do that. Oldies and goodies are the way to go in the long run.
