they have grease just for that problem - ground cable could be rusted where bolt holds it in place - may need new ends on wires even - they must fit tight - they make a tool just for shaving off a tiny bit of the inner circle of the ends on the cables - which makes them fit much better - if the alternator is not putting out enough voltage they will be doing that a lot also -
My M9540 wouldn't crank, all power worked fine, cleaned battery terminals, checked the starter relay fuse. Found the problem the next day, I turned the ignition and wiggled the PTO control in the off position and it cranked right over. Replacing the PTO sensor looks like a pain, I'll just wiggle it.
I have an M7060 basically the same tractor and just developed the same problem. Did your problem come back or did this permanently solve the problem? I checked all my fuses and even with my truck connected with two additional batteries it will not even click when I turn the key. I replaced the ignition and still nothing.
If you are not even getting a click, then I worry that the problem is not just your battery. With a known good battery connected, you should at least hear some activity at the starter. Can you check to see if your starter is getting hot? Maybe it’s totally bound up a and that’s why you’re not hearing anything. It might be warm to the touch.
yu did not clean the inner circle of the cables with the right battery cable cleaner tool - not good - it shaves off a tiny bit of the old metal - also makes them fit better with a good more proper fit -
@@ApacheRanch yep -- they also sell a grease to put on em to stop corrosion - some farmers in north carolina just use plain grease - they sell that tool even at harbor freight for maybe a dollar - and it does a good job - only take away enough to get new material - no more - it may have to be done every couple of years - they also make one for the posts on the battery - only take away as little as is needed for a clean surface - make sure connections are tight - but not over tight - i have had to do so many times over many years - either they don't have good tight connections or the alternator is not putting out enough voltage - also the ground could be rusted at bolt that holds it to frame - they need to be cleaned good putting just grease stops the rust some - a common problem with heavy work farms with lots of stops and starts of engine - not good for winter - it can kill a battery without good connections - when not fully charged they freeze a little very easy -
We have a mx5200. Jump started it. Now it has a po605 code. We are told we burnt the ecu. It will crank , fuel pump runs. But won’t start
I have to do that all the time with my backhoe for some reason. The connectors just like to corrode up and not get good connection. Great video.

Check your meter fuse
It fixed my problem with dash and starting
I know this video is old but right before you turned the motor off I saw a spark coming from the positive battery clamp.

Good to know!!! Thanks for your comment!

hello on my tractor my battery light is on. should i try this? i dont even know how to open the hood lol
This video is a fix for a bad battery - maybe get some outside assistance?
@@ApacheRanch i didn't have it in Neutral lol didnt know it had to be in Neutral in order for it to start. it wasn't the battery all along.
Glad you figured it out!!
