New to the group. Can anyone help me hunt down a circuit problem on an old MX5000SU? I am getting no power to the OPC timer relay. Paid a mechanic $500 and he still cant find the problem. Replaced the start relay, key main switch, glow relay, and cleaned the battery connections. Checked the grounds attached to the frame and cut and reattached those. The only indication I get from the tractor is turning the getting and getting the orange light to come on only while the key is turned. The two red lights do not light up at all, and the tractor does not click when you put the key in and turn it anymore. Im getting 12 volts to the starter, start relay, glow relay. I honestly cannot figure out how to test the safety switches (seat, pto, gear shift), I assumed it was one of the switches but looking for some help please? Thank you

Have you seen the posts about voltage drop to the starter?

Apparently it's a problem on green machines too and they even made a solution ( google AM107421). The fix is a low voltage starter relay. I tried to include an amazon link but it was too long. Search Amazon for:

Voltage drop to starter
The tractor I am dealing with is a 1990 L2850 Kubota. I originally thought I had a relay issue, but after getting a wiring schematic I do not see a starter relay. The issue is a voltage drop to the starter from the key. I am only getting 9 volts. I see where the key wire to the starter solenoid...
