most rear tine cultivators will have a chain and gear inside the gear box, so I would think either the chain has broken, or the gear has sheared, either way the gearbox is going to have to be stripped to see what has happened.

check the trans fluid reservoir. if it is low that may be the problem.

check the drive belt to be sure it has not broken or came off the pulley.

Brake switch
PTO switch
Seat switch
RCM / reverse switch

Could be any of the above.

Troubleshoot by checking continuity from the M (magneto) pole of the ignition switch to ground. It should be open (no continuity from M pole to ground.

Methodically disconnect switches until M pole to ground shows open. Then test suspected switch.

A DMM or an inexpensive auto circuit lamp tester will do.

on these you have to remove the body to get access to the fuel tank. there should be 6 bolts under the seat and a bolt under each floor board. then you should be able to lift the body enough to get the tank out.

If the electrical system does not function, or your tractor’s engine will not crank, first check to be certain that the fuse has not blown. It is located under the hood, mounted behind the top of the dash panel on the support bar.

it could be many things. try to change the spark plug. the fuel lines may be close to the engine causing the fuel to boil after it gets hot.. could be a plugged fuel line or filter. the engine may have a bunch of debris in the cooling fins causing it to over heat.

check the safety switch on the seat

Likely the charging system has failed. You will need to check voltage at the battery with a Digital Multi Meter (DMM typical <$15 at home improvement store). A fully charged battery will read 12.5VDC or better while engine off. It may start with a slightly lower voltage, but won't run for long. With a good charging system and engine running, you should get 13.5 to 14.75VDC at the battery. Less than 13.5 volts means charging system has likely failed.

If the engine does not have a gravity fed carb. then there will be a vacuum pump on the engine, this takes a pulse from the rocker box to work a diaphragm, this in turn pulls fuel from the fuel tank, if the pump is faulty then fuel will not fill the inline filter, the pumps are not really serviceable , a quick check to see if its working, there will be three hoses to it, one to the rocker box, one from the fuel tank, and one to the carb, remove this one, put the end into a suitable container, now crank the engine, there should be a flow of fuel.

usually if this happens it is the seat safety switch. if you have already replaced it it is a matter of tracking it down to see when it goes to off mode.

check the grounds to the frame and engine block
