The owner checks ground cables and battery terminals, then traces the circuit to the clutch neutral safety switch, demonstrating a jumper-wire test to confirm it's bad before replacing it. Useful for owners troubleshooting the same no-crank symptom, less so for anyone comparing tractors or researching specs.
Posted by the Charles And Cars channel, apparently an owner working on his own tractor rather than a dealer or reviewer.
In this case it was a bad clutch neutral safety switch. Ground cable issues and cracked battery terminals were checked first but the real cause was the switch not passing voltage.
Make a jumper wire, unplug the switch, and plug the jumper into both wire connectors in its place while in neutral. If it cranks with the jumper, the switch is bad.
The owner did not believe it was adjustable, based on inspecting it. It appeared worn out, likely with burned contacts inside.
Check ground cable connections and battery terminals for cracks first, then test the clutch neutral safety switch with a jumper wire before assuming the starter is bad.
