no lights, need help

I have an 82, 250. yeasterday I jump started my lawn mower with it and now I dont have any head lights or parking light, I do have turn singles. I check all the pull fuses under the dash and they looked good, I going to check them again, But there is a round silver fuse thing in that panel, could it be conected to the lights and be bad?

The round silver thing is most likely the hazards flasher; I doubt it's related to your problem. Is anything else out that you can see of? I'm assuming the truck is running? My guess would be something in your headlight switch, but I can't imagine how that would have been related to having jumped your tractor.

Also check for fuseable links. I can't understand how jumping the tractor could have done anything either unless the battery terminals are loose or have a bad connection. Greg

The headlights and the parking lights are fed by two different power sources. The only thing they have in common is the headlight switch itself.
