JD 4052m no crank

[Brianjbell]

All, I have a 4052M with less than 100 hrs. Started it this morning just fine, ran for an hour or so with no issues. Shut down to talk to the JD tech that was here to do a recall on my Z730m. I got back on the machine to start it again and it has no start. The dash lights up, beeps like normal. All lights, gauges, etc work as expected.

Moving snow with it? Possible that snow is inhibiting the safety provisions for that tractor? Not letting a pedal fully engage a safety switch for example?

Is trans control in neutral & pto off? I suggest to clean/tighten all four battery cable connections.

No, I'm in NC and mud is about as close to snow as we have here right now. None in the area that I was working in yesterday. I've tried everything I can think of related to pedals/switches and no dice.

This unit is a hydro. I've tried with range selector in all ranges including neutral with no success. I did confirm (and cycled to be sure) that PTO was off. When I turn the switch to the start position you can hear the relay under the dash clicking each time I try to start, just not getting any activity on the starter.

Sorry I didn't address this in previous post. This has been done as well. Also checked voltage from battery to the starter, including all fuses. All is good there too. I'm thinking either some safety switch is out of whack or the solenoid on the starter is dead. I've already got a call into the dealer for warranty service, was hoping someone here may have had a similar issue and I could get the machine back up before the dealer can get here.

Problem has been resolved. The solenoid wire is a spade connector and had vibrated back enough to look connected but was not making connection. After reconnecting we are back to normal.
