Just off the top, I'd speculate that you have an electrical problem that is keeping the fuel shutoff solenoid from pulling. With your panel dark as well, it's likely that the supply voltage line is corroded up, or there is a bad ground somewhere for the cab.
You should be able to pull it open and wire it in place to get it to start, not familiar with it so I don't know if it has control lockouts, but if it doesn't you can move it to a more favorable place to work on it, if need be.

Thanks for the response. Do you have any idea of where the ground locations are ? I really need a wiring diagram .Do you know where i can get one ? Last night i left the ignition on went back and the controller was on engine started turned it off and now it wont start .

There should be a 442 book in the manual thread. Granted, it's a bigger machine, but the electrical diagrams should be similar as they share the design. The 325 book is just an operation manual, no help there.
