Starts ok runs travel about 10ft dies. will restart no problem runs same dies (suspect seat safty switch) manual does not show diagram.Need to see diagram Can anyone help

Does it run at idle just fine and stop only when you seek forward motion/put load on it??
I had that problem, traced it to a loose wire on the diesel cutoff switch.

Other options include out of fuel, clogged fuel filter, etc...

Welcome to TBN. Sounds more fuel related check your fuel filters for flow. Give some more details to get better advice. :thumbsup:

I'm sorry .where would I find this switch to check. no diagrams in manual. am just farm girl around drove tractors all life just need to know where to check Thankyou

Suspect an electronic cut out...maybe trace seat cutoff wires, make sure they are all plugged in properly, not loose. Bounce in seat, wiggle wires while stopped and idle...does it shut off??
Will it idle smoothly for a few minutes?? Checked/drained fuel filter??

What kind of tractor....tell us more.

ok...see your last post...
typically you can tip the seat up and there is a switch/lever under it with wires running to it. When vehicle is running AND moving AND someone leaves the seat (emergency) then the tractor is supposed to die immediately.

If the wires are not right, or the switch is bad, then engine can think that someone has bailed out of the seat and die in error...you are still in seat.

there have been reports of very light ladies who don't press the seat down enough to reliably press on the switch/lever, thus are bouncing in the seat and it makes it look like they have bailed out.

Have you been driving it and it just started happening, or are you just starting out with this tractor...not prying, just trying to understand when/why the problem started and what is different now from before when all was OK...

Post a picture. I don't have a B, but my BX has a switch making sure my butt is firmly planted and another one to make sure nobody is planted (splitter usage).

You'll find lots of help here, but be verbose about asking. Welcome aboard!

There should be two switches under the seat. One senses when your weight is on the seat, the other senses when the seat is folded forward, which allows you to be off the tractor with the PTO engaged and the engine running. Like others have said, if you can post picture we can tell if the switches are at least mounted properly. Do you have a small meter that you can use to check the switches for continuity?

 

[texasjohn]

he means a volt/ohm meter.
