As many on here know, my neighbor lost his shop in a fire and got a BX24 to replace his burned tractor. On occasions, ive borrowed the tractor to dig out stumps and such but the common problem ive had and many other people have had was the tractor is really hard to start. Switches, lights, and such work fine, just wont start, or even crank. One time i was messing with the switches and managed to start it up for some guys doing construction at the neighbor's place. Another thing, once it is trated, it wont turn off. Key off and it still runs. Neighbor just puts it at low throttle and pushes the pedal with the bucket down to kill it. Now I dont like being rough on machinery or seeing someone have to kill it to start it up. any ideas on what the problem is? could the battery be dead? I just want to figure out the problem and see what it takes to fix it for my neighbor.
