2072 Won't Crank or click even... has lights

[2004f550]

Went to start my 2072 the other day and it won't crank or even click. When I parked it all was well. I've tested the battery (excellent), replaced the starter solenoid, key switch and jumped the pedal safety and the seat dead man (I kno it starts without the seat depressed) I was just being through. I can hear te pto switch activating the clutch fine on and off. I also jumped power to the starter and it turned over which is now leaving me stumped. All connections are tight under the dash, battery, and solenoid. Also the headlights work fine and the oil safety light comes on with ignition and goes out when the key turns to the start position like it should.

Neutral safety switch?

I'm not an expert but I will see if I can help. If you turn the key to the start position with a test light or volt meter hooked to the small red wire on the solenoid do you get 12v or does the test light light up?

does the solenoid click when you turn to crank? when you say you jumped the starter, where did you clamp the ground, or did you jump positive only?

[2004f550]

I jumped te starter from the positive on the battery just to make sure it would turn over and crank which it did. If by neutral switch you mean the one connected to the pedals then yes I jumped that out to test. There is no clicking even from the solenoid.

This is a repeat of another thread....But here is a Start Circuit Schematic. The PTO has to be off, the Brake Pedal depressed, to start the engine.

Thank you, looks like something with the pto switch probably it's the only thing left

You may want to jump the positive batt pole to the starter side of the solenoid to make sure that the sol is not the problem. Try it once on the big red cable side and then on the small wire side of the sol. It should start on either side if the sol is ok.

Its hard to trouble shoot electrical with out a test light or meter. They help to take away the guess work. The print that was sent to you by R Bedell is a big help it saved me a lot of headaches thanks again R Bedell. I do have a question that my help trouble shooters, the diagram shows the pto switch c&d as having to be made, on switch 725-0893 does that become 1&2 in the start position?

on switch 725-0893 does that become 1&2 in the start position?

According to the Switch Diagram....there is no terminals labeled 1 & 2.
