Bobcat 763 no start

[DEERE3594]

Has a good and charged battery but got no power at all. Any idea where to start looking?

 

[Sierradiesel]

Key switch-check for loose wires or crapped up switch. Fuses? Does the starter get juice at all?

 

[Sierradiesel]

Solenoid ok? Does solenoid get juice?

 

[Golddigger]

Safety switch for brakes or seatbelt?

Might have found the problem with a bad wire.. ran out of daylight again :mad2:

Does yours have the electronic safety controls with the green lights?

Also on mine, I had a problem with the wire harness going to the cab.

 

[DEERE3594]

Can you elaborate what you mean with green lights safety controls?

 

[Drew]

On my unit, when facing the bobcat (entering it) there is an electronic brain to the left of the seat, and there are 5 lights.

One for each safety function.

I dont have a good photo of it online anywhere.

Mine is a 1999 model.

Did you try energizing the starter directly from the battery?

If you put 12v to the starter lug, it should start turning the unit over immediately. (the red circle in the photo)

Also, when you turn the key on, does the fuel shut-off disengage? (the blue circle in the photo)

It seems it might be the battery after all... It seems to have lost its charge when I put the tester on it.. Anyone know where to get one after 7pm.. mail order or anything? Id like to not miss more work to go get a battery...
Thanks for all the replies fellas!
