I couldn't get parking space inside before the winter weather hit. Went out Sunday to clear drive. Finally got the tractor started. Most problem was forgetting to safeties set so would start.
Started and let warm up a little. Put in gear and it stalled. Released brake and it stalls. Seems all the safeties are somehow frozen in the parked position. Finally got it to run by tieing the gearshift interlock in the go position down by the inside of the wheel. The brake I clamped the hand lock in the lock up position with a clamp. So now I can move snow, but I have not been able to trace the interlocks to find out where they are frozen. And I thought it was weather proof!
