MX5100 Will Not Start - Kill Switch issue?

Kyle241 · Feb 5, 2014

Decided to get out and clear the driveway around 3pm today and the tractor would not initially start. It had power and I had used it earlier in the day no troubles. I thought perhaps it was the kill switch stuck so I checked under the seat and it was operating okay and then checked some of the wiring and happen to move a couple around a bit. Got back on the tractor and it started fine. Cleared the drive and it worked great for about 45 minutes and then I got off it an of course the kill switch kicked in and shut it off. I got back on and now it will not start. I did the same as earlier by moving some wires, no luck. Any ideas?

Tks.

HST? If so, the peddle may not have returned to center... Kill switch shouldn't effect it from starting if in neutral and clutch in..

C4Ranch, you got it exactly. The peddle has become stiff all of sudden and I was out there playing around with it and remembered this could be an issue and low and behold that was it. Tks!
