Why won't L4200 wake up?

[mn4x4]

I'm *SURE* this is something stupid that I did, so let's get that out of the way to start with....

I replaced the clutch in my L4200GST and *just* finished getting it back together. I was going to test run it today, but I only had time for a quick check before it starting pouring rain. When I turned the key, NOTHING happened. No lights, no gauges, no self-check...nothing! Then I remembered that I hadn't reconnected the ground wire to the battery.

DOH!

So I reconnected the ground wire to the battery, and tried it again. No lights, no gauges, no self-check...nothing!

I had time to do a few quick checks, so here is what I know:

Battery is good
Ground to frame is good
Hot is good to starter

That's all the further I got before it dumped rain and I quit for the day.

Knowing all of the connectors that came apart when I split the tractor, I'm wondering if there are any 'likely suspects' that i should start to chase. I am very comfortable troubleshooting electrical problems, but I don't have a schematic which makes it a lot harder.

Any suggestions would be appreciated?!

I think, (I don't have the WSM for that tractor), there is a connector that should be on the top or side of the clutch housing that probably got disconnected.

That didn't take much. Turns out I had missed one of the wire lugs when I reattached the wires to the starter. Once I figured that out it was a 2 minute fix.

Of course, as soon as I had the tractor running, one of my loader hydraulic hoses decided to spring a leak.

Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints.
