Sounds like the battery is flat. Have someone stand in front of the vehicle. Put the headlights on and turn the ignition key. If the battery is flat nothing will happen and the lights won't light. If the battery is very low but has power, the headlights will turn to glow worms when the key is turned.
Other possibilities are an activated antitheft system, or a faulty ignition switch. There is also a MAIN FUSE on the positive battery lead!
If you put a new battery in last week and it won't turn over now then you either have a short across the battery or the generator on the tractor has gone bad. A lot of times dead or low batteries will have enough power to turn on the lights but not turn over the motor. Disconnect the battery leads and put an ohm meter across them with the ignition switch turned off. You should see a very very high resistance.
Some cars have inline fuses in the battery cables and have multiple connections for components making one get power and others not. If all your fuses are good, the next thing to look at is the electrical part of the key switch. Usually there is the mechanical part with the tumbler, and the electrical part.
well if you have a dvom/voltmeter check the power at the starter terminals. the main terminal should have power all the time the key wire should have power only when the key is turned to crank engine. if you have power at both then i would start looking at grounds
take a good battery from another car that you absolutely know is good.
Try to prime the motor twice
turn the ignition to start position...do not crank
turn ignition off
turn ignition to start position and try to start
Touch a 12" piece of wire to one terminal then touch the other end of the wire to the other terminal. Got a really good spark? No spark = bad battery. Okay, so you do get a good spark. Check the wiring harness for an unplugged wire. Also check for loose connections and burned wires. Bad ignition switch? Kill switch turned on?
