Did a couple hours of brush hogging along the woods trails and stopped at the shed to blow off the 513 brush mower before parking it.
Back on the 4300 and "no start". What the ?? Couldn't leave it there, as it blocked the shed door and snow predicted.
Poked around for a safety switch interfering and found nothing. Decided to crawl underneath thinking some brush may have caused something to be ripped off.
Saw a stub of a branch broken off and sticking out. Turned out it was a 5/8" stick wedged in between the forward and reverse pedal linkage. Pulled that 5" of stick out with channel locks and all was well.
Apparently the forward and reverse pedals didn't return to "neutral" position which is another safety switch. Just passing this on.. Until that find, I was stumped.. or "sticked".
