CH4Ohio gets the win! There are not two safety switches for the two PTO levers, instead one lever lifts the switch and the other lever moves where the plunger engages. So one switch engaged by both levers. A clever design. My B2910 is from 2001 and early B2910s did not have a seat safety...

I just tested the starter. It is fine. The main terminal on the solenoid has 12V all the time. The ignition spade has zero volts all the time, even when I have the key in the start position. A jumper cable from the battery to the ignition spade cranks the engine. That leaves me with good...

Thank you. This is most helpful. I just adjusted my tilt wheel and it is in a notch. I never knew how to do that. I think the big orange cruise handle gives better response as I get more leverage from it. Which likely means I should grease up the rocker pedal linkages when I reassemble. I...
