I do not know of likely but if you have a volt meter with a dc amp setting (not milliamp) pull off the + cable put the red meter lead on the batt.take the blk lead and place it on the + cable .with everything off there should be no amps flowing thru the meter,if there is try pulling each fuse to see if it drops off.(most fuses are controlled thru the key switch) but some might be hot all the time.It will be a process of elimination.
some switches turn to left from the off postion to heat just so you know this is possible with some tractors.can you come up with the engine name and model from the block tag so we can have more info. to further guess if your tractor even has glow plugs.
make sure that the key switch is energizing the wire to the glow plugs when it is put in the heating position then look at the resistance of each glow plug,you can do this while there in the engine remove the copper (mostly)strap. one ohm meter lead to the block the other to the place the strap was it should read I think around 3 ohms or less.I was thinking if you wanted to if you have a 30+ amp meter you could look at amp draw to see if they were pulling alike.
I agree have at least the shaft straightned at a machine shop or replaced and the driveshaft tube reworked or replaced it will make the reinstallation easier if it slides together easy.
I do not know if yours might do as mine but if I pull the dipstick and look at it ,it will show low ,I need to wipe it off and place it back pull it again to get a good reading.I guess it forms a vaccum on the dipstick tube after engine cool off from last use.That is the 50 hp foton the 20 hp dong feng does not do it. I will say this I go by the dipstick not the book.
I have a question were you on concrete or asphalt,I am womdering how you could have gotten enough traction to shear the shaft.Or is the metal in the shaft that poor.
In the dirt I have had the tires spinning pulling on heavy things,Have I been lucky?
It is a small tractor 2 wd with some parts common with a international cub it is powered by a kohler 14 hp gas .It is shaft driven with rear hydros.The neighbor has cultivators on it .For light work it works well.I am leaning on a frozen throw out bearing as the problem.But I have never fooled around with one sooo,I am looking to minimize mistakes by asking first.
