Ford 3000 won't crank

When I finished spraying last night I was hosing my Ford 3000 gas tractor off to cool it down and it died. Now it will not crank over. The two red lights on the dash come on when I turn the key but there is nothing at the starter...no noise, click or anything. The red lights do dim when I turn the key but do not go out. I did pull it to try and start it but it would not fire. Where should I start? Thanks

Last night I went home and was ready to start in but, it started right up although there was a little pause when I turned the key. The pause was about 2 seconds then the starter engaged and it started. I assume something is getting ready to fail. What is the likely part? Doesn't the solenoid sometimes fail when it is hot and will function when it cools? Thanks for all your suggestions.

I would not recommend hosing down an engine to cool it off. You can crack a manifold or do many other damaging things to a hot engine by unevenly and rapidly cooling them down.

I have no definate idea what happened to it though.

Turn off the hose. Start at the battery. Then the starter and generator in whichever order is most appropriate.

I would start looking at the starter solenoid. I guess a good question would be, do the headlights still come on? If so, the battery would still be intact. But just a guess, the solenoid. I did the same thing a few years ago, and that's what was wrong. Also, check the ignition switch. They don't like water either.
