Hi everyone! We have an L3240 that has run perfectly for years. We parked it a few days ago and now it won't start. No fuel filter changes, plenty of diesel. Possibly missing a familiar click under the hood when the key is turned on...??? Any suggestions? TIA and have a blessed day!

I will assume that you have checked all the safety switches?

Seat? PTO? HST drive? if so - switch there?

Thanks for the reply. The switches are all fine. The tractor spins over fine, just won't start.

I don't have a WSM for your tractor, but it sounds like your fuel shutoff solenoid is not pulling in. Check fuses first.

We got everything fixed the connection on the fuel shutoff solenoid was bad. After several connects and disconnects and quite a bit of head-scratching, everything is running smoothly!
