Wayne0 296 #1 Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) The switch on my Work Horse is getting "glitchy" Some times it works, sometimes not. It's below the pedal lock linkage, correct? I don't see how it works, as I see nothing contacting it. Also, how does it come out? I can't see anyway to get at it without disassembling all the linkage.

NA73 66 #2 Posted April 8, 2023 year/model would be very helpful since there are many configurations of 'where and how' regarding safety switches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,503 #6 Posted April 9, 2023 Is item #11 the park switch? https://www.partstree.com/models/a1-18be01-gt-1800-toro-garden-tractor-1984/electrical-system-7/ Do not see a park switch on this model. Possibly it is the neutral switch? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne0 296 #7 Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) Yup. Of course, it's unavailable! After digging deeper into this, it seems the plate on the linkage is not coming forward enough to actuate it every time! I'll have to pull some tin off and see if I can adjust the linkage to activate the switch and still have the brake work. Edited April 9, 2023 by Wayne0 Added info.

Wayne0 296 #8 Posted April 10, 2023 So, it turned out, the holes in the brake linkage plates were all wallowed out so the ramped plate on the brake peddle shaft didn't contact the switch.(too much slop) I dug through my "bucket 'o bolts" and up sized to the largest that would fit through the heavy spring. Seems to work fine for now. If I have to, I'll build up the plate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
