BX24 PTO lever stuck

[offcamber]

2008 model, I never use the PTO. I have no implements that use the PTO. I am the original owner. Went to go start the tractor and it does not turn over. Acts like one of the safety switches is not engaged. I notice the PTO lever is the middle. Not sure how it got there. It won't move forward or back. Feel likes its binding. A few years ago I did adjust the safety switch since I had a random no start situation. No issues with it since that adjustment. All other levers move freely. Anything I can check before I have the dealer come get it for repair? I plan to pull the left rear wheel to see if there is anything obvious.

Any advice it appreciated.

Thanks

I think I would try to engage the PTO and then see if the lever would move. In a pinch, I might even try to move the lever with the PTO engaged.
