So it turns out that the previous owner took the PTO lever off and put it on the shifter and just didn't have a PTO lever since he didn't use it because of this the PTO lever could not move up high enough because it was too long to allow it to be put into low gear once I obtain the correct lever and switch then back it goes into low perfectly now. The shut-off I've learned is done through the throttle by throttling all the way down and holding it all the way down there is a spring that returns it if you don't hold it it was out of adjustment once I just did it and now shut off just by holding it and when it's done I let off in then the tractor shut off. So now my only issue is that the tractor will automatically go forward when put into gear without pressing accelerator which is a pain in the butt when you're trying to go in reverse I've searched around trying to figure out how to adjust this and can't seem to figure it out does anyone have any pointers on this. So far for $1,000 this tractor was a great Buy it runs and drives well starts every time as a few leaks here and there I smoked a tiny bit when under heavy load but overall it's functions very well anyway if anyone can help I greatly appreciate it thank you
