OK, here's the update, I returned to the tractor (10 miles from here):

1) jumpered the clutch interlock, made no difference, still no cranking

2) Looked for second battery (none) and looked for transmission neutral safety switch on right side, and found none (likely exists only on Diesel like Bob later said)

3) Put jumper cables on battery, just to get 14.7volts, at tractor instead of the 12.2volts battery was reading (no load)..... made no difference.

4) Decided to open up the steel electrical panel that holds the key, headlight switch, push button switch, etc. After that panel was tilted down/moved, tried it again, and now it cranked, had working gauges, and headlights worked .... so obviously there is a poor/intermittent connection there somewhere .... will deal with that later if necessary

5) Tried to start it. It cranked at fair rpm for 5 seconds, then slowed to almost no cranking, within 10-15 seconds. I waited between attempts, letting battery charge a bit, and made about 4 attempts, with no firing.

6) To isolate the problem between gas and spark, I poured gas down air cleaner tube. After couple start attempts had one "pop". After waiting longer for more battery recovery, it started. Hurray. Battery date code says November 2012 ...... will replace that very soon.

7) Now I have 3 new questions:

QUESTION #1: What is that foot pedal lever on the floor pan, right side, just behind a person's foot? I pushed it down and could hear something change, had to lift it back up by hand. Might it be a differential lock or something?

QUESTION #2: The loader two levers don't do anything with the loader. Loader won't raise or dump. Absolutely no sound difference when I move those levers. Is there a hydraulic system on/off control somewhere? I did not check hydraulic fluid level, yet. The 3 point works.

QUESTION #3: On the left and on the right of the "dash", there is a large lever .... what are those two levers for?

Thank you
