I cranked the s250 this morning, moved it to reattach. Shut it down to hook up fittings from implement.... and now it will not crank. I checked codes. It says none. It goes through the normal sequence but when you press start, it does nothing. I replaced the battery with a new one, thinking it acted liked it was not getting a good connection. I cleaned the terminals and installed a new battery. Voltage on both batteries was 12.4. Still will not jump off from my truck. It has to be something simple that I am overlooking????
 
Jump a wire direct to the starter, use a jumper cable to the +ve starter terminal and hump +12 to the small pin on it to start it spinning. This will confirm the starter is not dead.

I recently put a new starter and alternator on it. This jump, just to see if it spins... or to crank it?
 
I have had his problem with my 743 . The ground wire from the battery to the machine had corroded on the inside, everything seemed to look good . Check voltage from connecting the positive side of the battery and grounding the tester negative to the frame.

I'd jump it to see if it spins, +12 direct to the starter, it eliminates the fuse and two battery cables.

i am fearful of jumping the starter on equipment with so many sensors. I often do it on simple equipment. But I should have done as you said. It was the starter

I am glad that you found the problem rather easily. Sometimes starters go bad just like that; with no warning. Be happy that you did not change a lot of problems just to find out it was the starter. Try to remember, "Everything man made is also man broken!"
