Hi guys,
I have a JD 430 lawn and garden tractor. It will crank and run fine as long as the transmission neutral switch is engaged. As soon as the hydro lever is moved and the neutral switch disengages, or if I try to engage the PTO with the hydro lever in neutral, the tractor will instantly die. The fuel shut-off relay is disengaging when this happens. I have checked the seat safety switch and it appears to be working fine. I have also tried bypassing the switch. Any suggestions on what to troubleshoot next?

Thanks
Ron
