Hello, I have a Cub Cadet 7265 with hydrostatic transmission. The other day I drove it fine onto our trailer to transport it and turned it off while in gear. When I got it to the barn and went to unload the tractor, shifted it into Neutral and it wouldn’t start. It needs to be in neutral to start. So I jostled it a bit and made sure it shifted in neutral and still nothing. Battery is fully charged. The gear shifter seems to shift fine. While the shift lever is in neutral I tried pulling it off, and the tractor tires just drag, so I believe it’s not actually in neutral. So im guessing it won’t start due to being in gear? I’m guessing there’s a neutral switch keeping me from starting it. Is there a way to bypass the neutral switch or get the tractor truely in Neutral?

You may be able to turn it on with the key then jump it at the starter bypassing all safety switches to get it running. The concern there is having it jump when it starts. It may be best to have someone depressing the clutch if you attempt this method.
