if the key is turned on and i jump the solenoid the tractor will start and run turning the key to the start position gets me nothing if the lights are on they shut off and the ammeter shows 0 instead of the negative draw from the lights i will follow up with all suggestions thank you
Sounds to me like the ignition is working fine and the kill circuit 29 Chev mentioned is not a problem, otherwise it wouldn't run when you directly powered the starter. I would look at the starter solenoid or the safety switches next.
Switches: Check continuity across 29 Chev's point 4 and ground. If it is open, then either PTO or FWD/REV is preventing a start. If you are positive neither of them are engaged, that suggests a switch problem on one or the other. You can put a gator clip jumper from point 4 to ground to bypass the safety switches and start it with the key if this is the problem.
Solenoid: You can also test the solenoid by jumpering 12V+ to point 3 and point 4 to ground. That will test the solenoid. Note that starter should turn if it still has power. If starter is disconnected the solenoid should click. If it does nothing then the solenoid is bad. You can also check continuity across point 3 and 4 if you know what numbers to look for (I don't, other than open circuit means broken).
