Seeking Help Again with Bx25 no Start

[rdsaustintx]

it sounds like the HST pedal isn't centered.

Not if he is hearing the starter solenoid click.

Means either he is not getting enough power to the starter motor or his starter motor is shot.

First being more likely than the last.

My BX will behave the same way (solenoid click but not turn) if the battery terminal is loose.

If he can hear clicking from pump, then the on part of the ignition is good. I agree that the HST or PTO switch or safety switch is kicking in somewhere- but OP states he got them all jumper ed out or at least most of them. What I would do next is put key in on position and dont try to start with key. Take a jumper cable and connect positive and the the little wire on starter and see if the starter engages. If starter engages then he still has a safety switch or ignition issue. If it doesn't engage on starter then he knows the solenoid or starter itself is bad. I believe testing it this way will allow you to figure it out from 2 ways from that point.

Hey Leitches?

Just wondering. You have a new tractor. I mean, that thing has GOT to be under warranty.

But it sounds like you have taken apart more stuff than my 5 yr-old BX (700 hrs). And I flog the living **** out of this thing!

What's up with that?

I got the clicking noise, I tries to use a battery pack to connect to the starter.I only connected the positive to the big red connection, Ahh does the little wire going into the starter also have to be powered in order for the starter to engage.With only the red wire connected I still have nothing at the starter. I use my gear to their fullest pottential with out abusing the **** out of them but I am a **** magnet for breaking stuff.I did try and protect the hst fan with a skid plate that had less than 1 inch gap from a side angle and that`s where the stick got her. I got over 80 hrs in about 4 months since I bought the machine.

Here are pictures of said safety switch for the pedal. This is a common problem.

Rocking your pedal merely allows the switch to find it's proper place to allow the machine to start. There is nothing magic about the alignment (being centered) of the pedal. The other poster was referring to the neutral safety position as am I.

Either access it for adjustment like is shown in the pictures or rock the pedal until it finds its proper position. I'd fix it and be done with it, if in fact this is the problem.

Man, I would take it to the dealer and give 'em a wistful look. Mine woulda fixed anything at 4 months.

Hear`s a ? If the pto for your mower is not engaged should you be able to turn the shaft under your tractor by hand. Mine just turns slightly back and forth.I`m wondering if the pto for the mower is stuck on or something.
Checked my hst limit switch and everything check out fine. Hmn Time to call the dealer I guess.LOL.
