DEAD TRACTOR BATTERY - I Am Such A Rookie! Dead Battery on My Massey Ferguson 1740M Diesel Tractor

This is a real-time, unpolished account of an owner draining her Massey Ferguson 1740M's battery by leaving the headlights on, then troubleshooting it over several attempts: jumpstart packs that fail, an unexplained "check node" dashboard message, safety interlocks (neutral, PTO off, parking brake, seat sensor) that block starting, and finally a successful jump via careful positive/negative connections. Good for owners facing the same dead-battery, no-start troubleshooting rather than anyone wanting a polished repair tutorial.
