  Laurie MckayAug 21, 2025
  The starter may not engage for several reasons. Ensure the selector lever is in the park position and the PTO switch is disengaged. The neutral start switch might need adjustment, or the battery could be dead, requiring a charge or replacement. A blown fuse or faulty relay in the start circuit could also be the cause. Finally, there may be an electrical problem in the start circuit that needs inspection and repair.

  If your engine cranks but doesn't start, several factors could be at play. It could be a faulty fuel pump, insufficient fuel level, or a fuel shut-off valve that's turned off. In cold weather, try cycling the glow plugs a second time. Other potential issues include faulty glow plugs, plugged fuel filters, an obstruction in the fuel line, poor engine compression, a faulty fuel shutoff solenoid, or a faulty injector pump. Addressing these potential problems should help you get your engine running.
