snowhound 103 #1 Posted August 10, 2010 Could someone tell me where the clutch safety switch is located. My son is having starting problems with his 1978 C81 and I think it is the clutch safety switch but would like some idea of where it is located before starting tearing the tractor apart to test it.

Sparky-(Admin) 19,674 #2 Posted August 10, 2010 I believe its a small ball/push type switch located down by the clutch pedal. If I'm right its just to the right of the pedal and a tab on the pedal hits it when the clutch is pushed pushed down. Your tractor is model# 81-08K801 . Enter it here exactly as i typed it https://lookup3.toro.com/partdex/index.cfm for some good parts drawings. Mike............ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you depress the clutch, the clutch arm rotates forward and the switch bracket on the clutch arm depresses the switch... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snowhound 103 #4 Posted August 29, 2010 Finally got time to work on the tractor, it was the clutch safety switch that was keeping it from starting. Just had to make a minor adjustment and it is running fine. My son is real happy now he doesn't have to mow with a push mower. Thanks for the replies, knowing where to look made it a quick and easy fix. Ed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
