I found the problem. What was confusing me was after I tried to start the engine I would loose power to my lights, fuel pump and only have a dim oil light and dim green light. Even if I shut the key off and turned it back on and didn't attempt to start it. Sometimes if I disconnected the battery then hooked it back up again I would get everything back but once I attempted to start it again I would loose everything again. I replaced the control module but that wasn't it. I test the resistance of my ground and I got a .1 ohm resistance. I assumed it was ok but I ended up doing two things I replaced the fusable links and then run booster cables from the battery to the engine block and solenoid. The tractor started. So I removed the positive side and the tractor again started. So with the process of elimination I clean the ground connection on the frame. The connector and bolt looked to be in excellant condition but I cleaned them anyway and removed the paint from the frame and reinstalled it. Now it is starting fine. I did notice a drag when it starts sometimes. The battery the dealer sold me is a 300 CCA battery and the original was a 330 CCA. It might just need to be run a charged up. Thank you to all that replied to this post! I am mowing again. :)
