gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,393 #4 Posted April 24, 2015 Sounds like the brake is set up too tight. This manual explains how the brake is set up starting on page 21 Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rexman72 210 #5 Posted April 24, 2015 still doesn't tell me if the white switch needs to be in all the way for the tractor to start.I am not getting even a click or anything to start it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,393 #6 Posted April 25, 2015 I don't know how closed the switch needs to be but that completes the starter circuit. Can you reach the switch and manually push it in to see when or where contact is made? Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rexman72 210 #7 Posted April 25, 2015 garry thanks for your help.I found a corroded wire on the bottom on the switch where your couldn't see it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
