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).
