It’s typical this time of year.... the jacket catches the PTO lever as you jump off the machine.

Ya, had to be because I didn't use the PTO; I'm thinking when cleaning up the Tractor, I am going to thinking on a lock of the Off-Position for that lever.
It took me over two hours to review the safety switches I knew about, crawling under the Tractor and check the wiring in and around the battery and starter; I almost took apart the dash to check out the ignition.

I did find a hydraulic Hose that was hanging, the HD Ty-Wraps weren't so HD, they had broke and the Hose was hanging waiting for a hook up, that was save two ! I found a couple of Bolt holes, not sure there were bolt in them at one time but mating part looks like it should have been supported, and save three, maybe !

I need to review the whole tractor, clean it up with a pressure washer, and then grease her up, add some extra ty-wraps for the hoses and wiring under the tractor.

I thank all that had input to this Thread it helped a lot !

The tractors arrive in a crate with no final drives, tires or FEL. The dealer puts these parts on. I found some lose bolts too- I don’t think my dealer has a torque wrench. As soon as I torqued them they stopped backing out. Same with hydraulic hoses. The machine probably doesn’t have soft hoses unless the FEL and or BH is added.

With safety switches everywhere.... just think how much stuff gets wiggled and moved when someone's father [ or maybe even husband ] is not around. Along with the required homemade motor noises.

And my granddaughter loves the tractor and steers it while I work the peddles.

She will be driving it soon by herself.

I tell her not to move any of the levers but we all know how far that goes !
