Chrisa4532 3 #1 Posted October 15, 2017 I have a 417-A that I suspected had a bad battery (kept loosing a charge, went down to 10V after a few days after recharge). NAPA diagnosed it with bad cell and I got a new battery which reads 12.7 hooked up to the tractor. I hooked up the new battery and it fired up no problem. When I started the tractor the first time with the battery it charged up to 14.1V but when I turn it off it will not start right back up. The engine does not even attempt to turn over and the "Clutch Pedal" light will flash. If I wait 5 mins, I will be able to start the tractor up no problem. Anyone have any ideas what the issue could be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,898 #2 Posted October 15, 2017 Sounds like a safety switch. I'm not familiar with the 417-A, but if there is a safety interlock switch on the pedal, it may be slow to close, causing the start circuit to be OPEN, and the Clutch Pedal light to flash. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,499 #3 Posted October 15, 2017 Should be 2 of these switches on the tractor. One to detect when the tractor/transmission is in neutral position and the other will guess for the parking brake. Perhaps you can switch them to isolate the problem.
