Kubota B2620 safety switch problem

[elaway]

I had tried pressing the clutch pedal with my foot, and I had moved and or jiggled every lever on the tractor and didn't get anything.
While it's true that maybe moving the clutch pedal back and forth really hard by hand may have resulted in it starting if I had just walked around and tried the switch, I don't know. Since the wife was interested in what was going on and standing their watching, I decided to put her to work, LOL.

I believe the pedal was not returning all the way when it was depressed by foot, and I have since greased it with the zirk fitting and applied grease to several other areas that may be crucial in starting.
I have always kept the tractor and FEL well greased, but will watch these areas more closely in the future.

I now grease the pedals every time i do the FEL (10 hours). I find they gum up quickly. Some folks have said they use lighter grease on the pedals and that helps, especially in cold weather.

On my 2013 B3350HSDC, I could have wiggled the HST rocker 'till the cows come home. The neutral switch had moved outboard in its slotted bracket so the tab on the control are was pushing air, no longer touching the switch plunger at all. First it was intermittent, only failed to start on one occasion and I was able to rock the HST pedal to get it to start. Months later, no start due to the above.
