I posted this about 2 weeks ago. The symptom was that when exiting the seat, the engine would turn off. Nothing would make the engine crank on key turn except after depressing the foot switch. Several members recommended greasing the zirc under the tractor on the foot switch, which I did but it didn't help.
I called the dealer and they had a mechanic in the area on another service call the next day, and got him to stop by and look at it. They did, and found that the alignment bracket for the safety switch was out of alignment, either through normal use, or from the slight impact of a branch. Since the tractor was less then 2 years old, they fixed it under warranty with no charge to me.
Oh happy day!
I have to pass along my thanks to the members for their helpful suggestions, and my gratitude to my dealer, Gardner Equipment in LaPlata Maryland. Their great to work with.
