I found that I couldn't start my tractor the other morning. After doing some investigation, I found that a fuse had blown. I replaced it, tried to start, and promptly blew it again.
Looking at the electrical diagram, it appears the the things on that circuit are (assuming I'm reading it correctly):
* keyswitch
* alternator warning light
* alternator
* safety start switch (bypassed, on my tractor)
* starter motor
I've attached the electrical schematic.
I'll admit that I'm a complete novice w/regard to electrical stuff. Any suggestions on debugging this?
Is there a likely culprit? Please don't say the starter I suppose I could just buy a replacement starter solenoid, and try that. That's definitely the cheapest thing to swap.
