        Look up Johnstractor.com, he has a wiring diagram on there.The 12V power goes from the battery to the starter, the starter to the fuse panel, fuse panel to the key switch.Check your fuses and fuse box good

          You didn't say what year the tractor was so I am shooting a bit in the dark.  Standing on the right side of the tractor next to the starter with the hood open you should see a large connector in the main harness. This feed everything in the dash area. Unplug that and look for a 10 gauge wire that may have gotten hot.  On the later models the wire was white. You might find that the connector no longer makes contact on that wire.  That will kill all power to the key switch.  I have seen this many times on Jinma tractors.

            Don,

            These are the wires on my 284.  Perhaps this will help you.

                FYI Don,

                “Secondary wiring” and “ignition switch” are both terms used in spark ignition engines where secondary wiring refers to the high voltage spark plug wiring, and ignition switch refers to the primary side of the ignition circuit. These are simply and generically called key switches. It helps to eliminate confusion where diesel engines are concerned.

                  I found the problem.Twelve volts going into the 30 amp fuse,and zero exiting.The crimped wiring that holds that 30 amp fuse had loosened and was not making contact.I simply leveraged the fittings more closely so that portion of the fuse made contact.

                     Because of everyone's help I fixed my problem plus accumulated some valuable electrical data.Thanks again,Don L.
