Hey everyone. Hoping you guys might be able to steer me in the right direction. Our L3650 is fritzing out electrically. The other day I went to start it and thought it had a dead battery so I jumped it with a set of cables. After charging for a bit it started and ran normally. It did the same thing a couple days later, jumped it, ran fine,, then I went to shut it down and it wouldn't shut off. I popped the clutch and killed it to shut it off. I tried to start it again the next day and the battery was completely dead. I put the battery on a charger hooked it back up and nothing. I'm getting a clicking sound from the dash and that's it. Any suggestions as where to start trouble shooting?

Have you had your battery tested?

Did you check the voltage output when the tractor was running?

How old is the battery?
Measure the battery voltage before starting and after it's running.

Battery is good but didn't check the output.
I am not buying your "battery is good" story.

Unless you own a quality battery load tester, take the battery to a local auto parts store and have THEM load test the battery for you.
A battery load test is always free!
