Thanks all. It ended up being a bad battery. Voltage was good but bad load. Interstate under a year old!

Yes all dash lights work and it cranks just won’t start

Connections look good. I had that issue last year. Am I correct in thinking that if it was an issue between the starter and ignition I wouldn’t get any clicking or it trying to turn over?

Yes shuttle shift. Has 12v coming from battery and it’s only a year old. It does click when trying to start. Just won’t turn over. I don’t think I would get anything if the safety switch was bad?

Hi, 94 l2900 will try to start but won’t turn over. Battery tested good. And put a new starter in and still same issue. Can anyone give me some other ideas. Diagnosing issues is not a strength of mine haha. Thanks

So all the fuses are good and I replaced the stater relay and the bad switch. Still not working. I was able to jump it from the starter to get it going but it won't start again if I turn it off. Any other ideas?

Thank you!

Hello. I have a 1994 LA2900. I’ve had a bad shuttle shift switch for some time now. I’ve been bypassing by connecting the wires from the switch to get the tractor to start. Yesterday I may have shorted something. When trying to start I got a buzz sound and then nothing. The sound was coming from...

That was it! Sprayed with some contact cleaner and she fired right up. I’ll replace that and hopefully be good. Much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, I have a 94 L2900 (first tractor and no experience) machine has been great but last couple days it wouldn’t start with the clutch engaged then it stopped starting at all. I did the tap the starter trick and that got it started so I figured the starter was bed. I replaced the starter and...
