Snow Help !!! 790 runs but stalls out when shifted into gear

[grsthegreat]

I'm happy to announce my 790 lives. Resolution provided by Craftsman.

The story goes like this .I always tip my seat up to cover the console when not in use. I had used it Sunday afternoon to plow the 3" or so out of the driveway.

A little melting snow and then a 10 degree night caused ice to form in one of the seat spring pins not allowing the interlock switch to be fully depressed by my tailbone when seated properly. 3 raps from my trusty 22 oz Craftsman claw hammer and the offending pin was free of ice. Fired it up and plowed the rest of the driveway just like a champ !!

Sometimes I'd rather be lucky than good

Thanks to all who posted with help. It's good to know that I have this site as a resource for help when I need it.

Neat thing about the 790...you can fix most things with a hammer and screwdriver.

Hello all, I realize this a reply to an old post but I just had the same problem with a Massey Fergusson 1547 (unfortunately my wife is the one who thought to look it up here and tell me how to fix it !!) but anyhow thank you all .
