2002 4600 HST MFWD tractor won't start. When I turn the key there is not a solenoid click or anything. Just like when you try to start your car in gear. Just dead. Lights are bright so there is plenty of juice. I suspect seat safety switch. But, when I have the parking brake on, it does the same thing. With the PB on it should start without a seat in the seat, or am I wrong. What else should I look at to try and fix this problem. It had been started several times and running for a couple of hours prior, I pulled it up to the garage to remove the doors from the cab, and it would not start again. There is not a door safety switch on it. Any suggestions are most welcome.

Fuel filter is new is only 4 hours on it. It helped the bogging down when I changed but but did not eliminate it completely. Now it is losing prime. I have to pump the priming lever in order to get it to fire. Once it is running it is fine except for road gear. Then it tends to bog down some. Not to the point of stalling like it did before. While working at full throttle it runs great, just when I transit to a new location doeing it bog.

My 4600 is a HST so the hydro is covered. The ing cut is gear driven, compared to a hydrolic or what other drive types are there? Our soil out here is heavy black clay so it can be hard as concrete.Thanks

Just finished digging out the back drive way. Thing runs like a champ now with the new fuel filter. Lock in the diff and let her dig. Love the MFWD on this. Makes a big difference. Now to get the tiller, scraper box, pulverizer, stereo, and a big honkin shed for her. About 60X40 should do. LOL

Thats what that feeling is? :) The excited tingly feeling and the growing grin? I jsut thought is was from being near my wife.;-) Your right though. I am really looking forward to spring, but I don't mind a few feet a snow from a storm right now so I can play with my new toy, err I mean tool.
