Remove the cap screws that hold the dash panel On. Be very careful because they can twist off. Pull the dash panel away a bit and look behind it for a ceramic resistor. I will bet there is one. If there is a resistor check the wires on each end for being loose or broken off. If one of the wires is off you found the problem. If the wires are good the resistor might be bad. Get a short insulated jumper wire with bare ends and jump between the two terminals. I have not had one apart for a long time so I do not remember if the resistor is easy to see or not. Then turn on your switch and try to start it. If it keeps running with the jumper wire in place the resistor is probably bad. If the resistor is easy to access and you are articulated enough you can hold the jumper wire against the two terminals with your fingers while you try to start it that way you can pull the wire away from the resistor while the tractor runs to see if it dies with the jumper wire off.
