No surprise. All batteries are connected in series, then to the big
disconnect. Unless all the batteries are in place and connected, you
won't
see any indication on the meter nor will the tractor run.
Don't be too disappointed if you get all the batteries in and it still
won't
go. If it's been sitting for quite a while, it's likely that there are
some
oxidized contacts on relays and control cards. You may even find that a
family of mice has lived inside the instrument panel, which usually raises
hob with the electronics (such as it is).
