If still no juice to the starter. Get a helper and be sure every thing is
in neutral and try jumping directly to the starter. Don't do this by your
self it is very dangerous if your truck is in gear it could run over you.
I know of at least one man who was killed by doing this with a tractor.
However it will let you know if it is working.
Sometimes you can wiggle the wires while someone is cranking on it and it
will make contact and work . Then you know what area is not making ground.
Good Luck.

>My M715 died electrically Fri. By dead, I mean no apparent electrical
power to the vehicle. The batteries read 25 V combined(separately

ignition switch and apparent continuity out to the rest of the

motor switch. However, no lights, no fan blower and no start.
