TYM T264 Engine shuts off when braking

[LazyTYM]

I have T264 which has been a great tractor with 198 hrs, however, recently when I put the brake on after starting, the engine quits.

Any recommendations?



Thank You

I suspect that could be the seat safety switch. As you apply the brakes, you may lift enough in the seat that causes it to shut off.

The TYM T264 does not have a seat switch, like my mower. While looking for the switch, I noticed that the following actions will shut the engine (3 cyl diesel):
-Braking
-Turning lights on
-PTO (electric engagement)

Starting requires you to depress the brake and release as soon as the engine turns over.
Any thoughts

In that case, you must have a short somewhere that is causing the fuel shut off solenoid to shut the engine down. Not much we can help other than suggest the you try to inspect the wiring on the tractor for any damage, pinch points, etc.
