Husqvarna YTH22K42 Lawn Tractor Not Starting

[cdaigle430]

Sometimes my PTO is locked on my YTH2448 and I cant start it-I get nothing. Have to reset it a couple times. 600 hours so 4ar.

Went to start it tonight - nope. But thanks to tomplum a little tinkering with the brake switch and we were back in business. Thank you SIR.

As per my #2 posting: "Is the brake set?"

First thing I did was check the brake. Set it, then reset it then set it so hard I was afraid I might break something. Got under the tractor to see if I could see a problem with the switch contact and it looked fine. At that point I thought, well it can't be the brake. The last time it didn't start (now knowing it can't be the seat switch) I pulled off the side panel and disconnected the brake switch, and gave the wires a good going over - at that point it started. Not sure yet if it was a wiring issue or if I have to replace the switch. Didn't miss the #2 post - just went full circle on it...

Going in circles never end's well.
