Tractor won\'t start. PTO safety switch?
For the last couple of days my TC33D has been very troublesome to start. The pto light seems to be always on and it takes a fair amount of wiggleing before it goes out and the tractor starts. So today after one hour of trying to start it I've come to ask the collective wisdom about a solution.
I've crawled underneath and found a safety switch by the transmission and pto levers but none of the bars were depressing it. I used a screwdriver to push it down but the light still did not go out. I pulled the fuse for the pto safety switch but it still did not go out. I disconnected the safety switch, still no start. I called the dealer, he said there was no way to bypass the switch and suggested that there might be moisture in switch that is not letting it move. He said to put a heat lamp out there for a while to free it. So far ... nothing.
Could I disconnect the switch and put a wire in it to bypass?
Should I consider ordering a new switching and switching them?
Other options?
Thanks
