Clutch safety switch

[almaryholm]

Maybe asked this before but still having trouble starting tractor at times... just get a single click when turning key to start...sometimes 3-5 times before tractor will start. Ya I have tried new solenoid / bench tests 3 times/ clean/ replace cables. ( think it might be safety switch on clutch, but I cannot find that .... switch) (( located inside dash ???)) Tractor is 2008 TYM T450

Your best bet is to follow all the linkages for the clutch pedal. The switch has to be somewhere in that linkage.

I believe that tractor has suspended pedals, so the switch will most likely be under the dashboard, where the pivot shaft for the pedal is located.

If you hear a click every time you turn the key that means all safeties have been satisfied. I would begin by making sure the battery is up to snuff and charged. Remove the cables and thoroughly clean the terminal and the cable connector. Inspect the connector end of the cables for signs of corrosion. Replace cables, tightening securely. If you can move them they're not tight. Now do the same thing at the chassis grounding end of the cable.
