    260 won’t start lawn tractor, put new pto on and won’t start. Power to starter, seat safety switch ok, trying to locate brake safety switch!

    I had bought a switch several years back and grabbed it off of another chassis. I cleaned and dielectric grease in connection but recheck it again. Thanks for a new idea.

    That’s good to know thank you. So you think pto switch would be better to change than the neutral switch in transmission.

    It was showing 12.63 dcv not a load test, the battery is only a few months old. And getting a good reading at starter. I guess I was hoping to get another idea from the parts guy. The starter bendix doesn’t even make any noise.

    No not yet I polished the contacts on safety neutral switch, I guess I will order a switch next. I don’t know if the relay switches go out very much I have three of them! I wouldn’t think the rectifier would be a problem area. JD dealer was not much help. Running out of ideas.

    The fellow at counter at JD is not giving me any ideas on switches or anything else I asked how much for safety neutral switch was $34 and change and tax. But no information at all. But if I forgot and left in gear the minute I put in neutral it would start!

    Meter at the starter shows over 12 volts, Battery is showing the same, I flipped pto switches back and forth and kicks on and off like it should.

    I push in the brake and clutch, transmission in neutral, then while sitting on seat and pto off I turn key to start nothing happens after that. The mower had started fine before. I did install a new pto to install it I hoisted mower up in the front to make it easier to install I can hear pto...
