Not aware of this info in any manual. Perhaps the illustrated parts pages will help. You can enlarge these

If these do not help post the part number of the switch.

      Are you talking about the Parking Brake Safety Switch on the plate under the shift lever?

plate under shift lever

does the silver tab go towards the e brake slot?

Maybe it’s a reverse light switch?  I picked up a 1045 for @Rp.wh last year.  It had a switch on the left side of the frame by the “z” bend in the brake rod.  It actually had brake lights!

On my* 314 the sping tab goes toward the ebrake lever so when u push the ebrake forward it will engage the switch.

do you know if that solve the problem when you go to put in gear it won't shut off

Is it a newer model with the neutral safety switch?  Pictures would help.

[OldWorkHorse 2,992]

No I dnt but there are like 6 safty switches on mine and if any of them arnt working can give you problems. My dash also has a dummy check light list so tells me what safty Is working or not engaged.

The 1998 314-8 is the only model that is not in the Demystification Guide so no illustrations for each circuit. May try to make some.

Big change to what we are used to seeing.
