I went out to tractor this morning one last time before making service call, after thinking about HST & PTO being only switches to keep it from starting, I went to PTO switch again, it feels really loose in the socket so I moved it around an pushed down as hard as I could in a tough spot to...

Thanks for all of the replies, I am really glad to have the help available. Wolf man, the fuel solenoid is the only one I can get to work, the starter solenoid will not work so far. Grouse Feathers, thanks for reminding me of that, I know I have (contrary to owners manual) started my tractor...

I am starting to think I will have to call the dealer for a service tech to come out and make repairs. Front loader is on ground and 6ft. mower deck is mounted on rear so I don't think it could be trailered.

Thanks Wolfman, but I tried that and still no starter engage, I even put trans in neutral, engaged parking brake and had wife push hst full forward while I pushed the switch in with my thumb thinking it may have somehow came out of adjustment, nut backed off ect., but still same result. This one...

yes, solenoid clicks, then nothing else happens.

I tried jumping switch and nothing changed, thanks for the idea, I thought you were on to something there, any other thoughts out there?

I do have dash lights and headlamps / work lights seem bright as normal, I do like the idea of jumping the seat switch, give me a few minutes and I will go try that. Thanks again OB, glad you didn't go to the darkside.

I tried unplugging the rear most pressure safety switch and the fuel pump solenoid quit working, the tractor has 2 safety switches on the seat and when either of them are unplugged it stops the fuel solenoid from working. I am fairly sure that even if I start the tractor from outside the cab...

I agree, it seem like it has to be something in the safety cut off system. I don't have a multi meter here so I cycled through all of the cab controls several times and even disconnected and reconnected as many of the safety switches I could find. I am really confused about which one to check...

I have a 2013 B3000 that suddenly does not start. I started it and used it for about 2 hours, when I stopped to get a drink I left the engine running and disengaged all drives and pto like I have done in the past. As I got off of the seat the safety shut off engaged and the engine shut down from...

I was using a flexible hose funnel to refill the engine oil. After the funnel got about a half of a quart of oil in it the flex hose let it tip over perfectly aimed at my alternator, most all of the oil in the funnel went into the alternator. I don't know whether to try to clean it out with...

I have a B3000 cab I bought in May of 2013 that now has about 200 hours. I prefer to buy local but my dealer doesn't seem to appreciate it and online is less expensive, so for my 3rd service interval I ordered from Messick's. So far for recommended service I have spent about $200.00 each time...

I would be interested in B3000hsdcc.
