farmall 504 died and now won't crank or light up dash

farmallboy15 · May 10, 2013

I took all the sheetmetal off and power washed the tractor. As I was driving down the driveway it started to cut out and then died. After I got it stopped I tried the starter button, nothing. The amp and oil warning gauges won't even light up. I tried using my battery pack, Nothing. Battery cables were tight. I don't think the starter is stuck. What am I missing? I'm lost... Did something short when I washed it??? Thanks for any help!

Pull the battery cables off at each hook up and clean them up. Or you may have a bad battery cable. Battery cable do go bad and when they do you can not see what is bad with your eyes

Follow the voltage with a test light grounded on one end and testing contenuity to the other. Jim

Must be a gasser, I cannot help. My 504 is diesel. Check for wet plugs or distributor.

Wet spark plugs would not prevent the dash gauges from activating when the key is turned on. Wet spark plugs would not prevent the tractor from cranking over.

Plain and simple, there was no power. Luckily it turned out to be a simple broken/loose wire at the key switch.
