Make sure the PTO is disengaged. BTDT

CLutch switch
Mid-PTO switch
PTO - switch

There are no others.

If the switches are activated, the engine won't crank. When you say "problems" is it cranking or not?


A google search will find you the parts break down books online. Sorry, no link.

I encountered this problem yesterday and a search revealed this thread.

My L3710 HST has a range lever switch (neutral) but no clutch switch. Perhaps it's an older model as suggested in another thread.
I see a switch for the rear PTO lever but do not see a switch for the mid PTO lever.
Another thread mentioned a switch on the HST pedal.
The parts manual seems to show yet another switch behind the dash for the throttle lever.
Are there any others?

Just as I was about to give up, I jumped in the seat and it started. I don't see a seat switch, so I must have jostled something into the right position... not confidence-inspiring.
