New LS 3038 would not start

[Jeshore]

Just thought I would pass this along. My 3038 with 21 hours would not star today. All lights work and the battery checked out with a full charge. I then remembered a problem mt old John Deere had and looked at the clutch safety switch on my LS. The nuts that hold it in place were loose, so it had shifted up away from the linkage stop. My son and I repositioned it and tightened both nuts. Problem solved. I have now gone over all nuts on the tractor (again), so maybe something like this will not happen again.

Things happen good for you getting to it so quick.

My dad had the same problem but it turned out to be a loose nut behind the steering wheel

See boomer's comments on my issue with throttle problems

I think your issue and his highlight the importance of checking over nearly all nuts and bolts that these tractors have

Sad but true ( cue Metallica )

Here is the big reason to check bolts.
At least it wasn't to to bad I have heard worst outcomes.
