414-8 pedal interlock switch placement

Recommended Posts

Mustang67ford

Working on the 414-8.  I noticed when pushing in the brake pedal, its stop appears to be the electrical connectors on the pedal interlock switch.  The black arm the brake pedal red pushrod attaches to hits the connectors when pedal is pushed in.  Here is a pic.  Is this correct?  Cant be good for the switch I woul think.

Bushings in the cross tube worn?

Brake lining worn thin allowing too much travel?

No to both.  All seems good.  Should the lever not touch the terminals?

The brake linkage should not touch the terminals on the neutral/clutch pedal switch.

If you look down through the slot in the sheet metal you should see how the clutch pedal lever contacts the switch rocker when the clutch pedal is down enabling the starter.

 

There was a service bulletin on this switch but not this model for an interference problem I think.

Perhaps it is the wrong switch as what I believe is the correct switch is no longer available from Toro. If the terminals were on the bottom like in this picture would they clear everything?

More info on the 103480 switch

Here is the service bulletin but don't understand the problem

My switch looks like #103480 and it appears to be installed per the instructions with the springy retainer tab orientation I believe.  The springy tab is opposite the terminals. Which is how it is in my pic, arrow pointing to springy tab.

Here is the way I see it. Your terminals are out the rear of the switch opposite the tab.

The correct switch is 110970 but looks same as 103480.

Left and right from operator's position in the seat.

Had a chance to look at this.  Terminals are opposite the springy tab.  Switch looks correct and looks installed correct.  Not sure of the difference between 110970 and 103480.  Here are some additional pics.

Here is a pic while pushing on brake pedal.  Lever gets awful  close to the terminals and does actually  touch.
