I'll let the OP make his own decisions, hope he keeps us updated, even if he turns out to have additional problems that could have been prevented.

As I re-call the OP only wanted advise on why he couldn't shut his tractor off, after that he's been showing us what he's doing, I for one appreciate that and like it. Advise is nothing more then a suggestion and there's no commandment, (Thou must take my advise) so my advise is, change the spark-plugs.
I agree. Just hope GmanBart don't see your post.......
He wont see it, I have my com set on incognito mode. :thumbsup: I just want to get this tractor fixed.

Got the injectors back from the shop...she is purring like a kitten. No smoke, sounds great. As for doing a total break down...I took a long hard look at those cylinders. Other than some normal discoloration for a machine with 450 hrs, they were perfect. They all came to exactly top dead center. I seen a engine with a bent rod and that piston was almost a half inch from top center. If those cylinders were even a .01" off. I would be breaking it down, but has of now everything seems good. I still may break it down before spring, because a still have to address that hydraulic fluid leak which requires me to break it in have. The fluid is leaking out of that drain nut on the bottom of what i guess would bethe drive shaft housing. The dealership said it sounds like the main seal. I would also like to thank everyone for there input. suppose to hit 60 tomorrow, so i'm gone to take it out and put a couple hours on it to see what it does...lets just hope we don't give soundguy a reason to say "I told you so" Lol.
