I have an L3800 that is sunk to the frame in mud. I turned it off to grab some chains and now t won’t do anything but click once when I turn the key. The battery was tested all connections are clean and tight. The PTO lever is off and I pulled the PTO shaft off just n case. All of the shift levers are in neutral. Any ideas?

Turn the Key on make sure it's in neural and jump the starter solenoid to get it going and out of the mud, then while it's running give it a good washing off so you'll be able to see what got damaged or removed.

.... The battery was tested all connections are clean and tight....?
Welcome to the forum Mikey662! You will get some exceptional assistance here if you will help us narrow things down by clearly detailing your observations. BUT,,, and don't get me started on my personal pet peeve, when the comment is made ' I know the battery is good because I checked the voltage '. Sorry, but not sufficient. Do you know the proper way to check the battery voltage under full load?
