Adjsut HST pedal switch

[ESM]

My BX23 has started having starting problems and always wants to shut off when I get off the seat. I discovered I have to rock the HST pedal back and forth to get it to start so I belive I have a problem with my HST pedal switch. I thought I remembered reading a thread discussing the HST pedal switch but I can't seem to find it. Is it possible to adjust it?

Thanks,
Eric M.

Eric......Thinking about your post, are you using any implements? Reason I ask is if you're not,or are, is there a chance you have your PTO lever in the engaged position?

I have my MMM attached but I've verified the PTO is not engaged when I have this problem. It's definitely the HST peddle. When starting I have to move it back and forth until I find a position that will disengage the switch. The same for getting off the tractor while its running, although that is much more difficult then starting because the peddle won't stay in the "sweet spot".

I don't have your tractor model, thus my experience may not apply.... but I discovered that on mine the engine would turn off if there was any vehicle motion at all when I left the seat to jump down and open a gate... if I wait for total immobility, then engine continues to run while I dismount....
