    I have a daycab with a m11 that won't start. i have not had any problems with starting since i have had, but i let it sit for a month with out starting it in the cold, the block heater was not plugged in . i have charged the batteries and plugged it in . it turns over fine but won't start. it will try to run if i spray either in the air tube

    Your fuses should be in the battery box or near the starter should prime itself after cranking for a bit I would turn the key on and see if you have power to the fuel silinoid you can use startup fluid but need to be carefull

    thanks for the help, i have a fuse panel under the drivers side dash, where would the fuel solenoid be ? i have a test light . this is my first time owning a tractor. i also have a thick cable in the battery box not hooked to anything . it has power to it and is thicker than all the other battery post, it is heavily corroded, no hole at the end just a short nub

    the cable sounds like a hot cable with the end of the lug broke off, he is saying the ecm fuse should be located either in the battery box or at the starter area-it will be a inline fuse, 10 or 15 amp size.

    Make sure your "Check Engine" and "Stop Engine" lights come on at key-on for a bulb test. These are turned on by the engine, if the ECM isn't powering up these lights will not come on. If the lights do come on, check for some rpm while cranking, if the tach shows some rpm I would say the ECM is powered fine and you're looking at a fuel problem.
