The Tractor Knew - Part 2

I didn't realize what lengths the tractor needed to go to so that it wouldn't start.

There is an emergency shut-off if the tractor looses coolant. This shut-off acts by intentionally blowing the fuse that controls the flow of fuel to the engine.

This part or failure mode isn't in the trouble shooting list for "engine won't start".

This part doesn't show up in the parts list or any of the tractor diagrams. I'm not sure how I'll find the right replacement.

But for now, disconnect the wire and replace the fuse and we're back in business (just watch out for complete loss of coolant...).
