Hey Gang,
I used my 2300 to move 8 yards of mulch,everything was fine. shut it down for an hour or so, and it wouldn't start. Was just clicking - like when you leave it in gear. But it wasn't in gear. I figured it was one of the other safety switches. I checked the seat switch, that was fine, PTO wasn't engaged so I did some research and figured I had another switch I wasn't aware of. I decided to heck the PTO switch and when I did I saw that there was some crap (20 years worth of grass, dirt, debris) interfering with the switch. So, I cleaned it out with a small pick and it started right up. Here are a couple of pics, hopefully it will save someone a few minutes of troubleshooting.
