F42H Fwd/Back pedal cutout switch

[Gus6]

Hi, I've had the Branson F42H for 3 years now with no issues. Lately I've had to tap the fwd/back pedals to allow the tractor to start. I'm assuming this is to activate a safety switch of some sort. It now will not start with all lead up indications it's the same switch. I'm currently searching for any form of manuals/wiring diagrams to give me an indication of what to look at. I've attached a couple of photos of what I think is the switch(white plastic fork) in question. Wondering if anyone can confirm, deny or point me in the right direction. In the meantime I'll see if I can get access to it.
cheers
Gus

Hello Gus. Welcome to the forum.

Yes, that does look like the Neutral switch.

Here is a link to the service manual. Hopefully it helps you figuring this out.

Thanks for that. Service manual is excellent. I sprayed some Inox on the switch area. Disconnected/reconnected the plug to the switch. Tractor starts now. Time for a brewski. and thanks again.
