Neutral Safety switch

[herringchoker]

Thanks for this thread people. My B710 is sitting in the driveway after changing the trans/hydro fluid and filters now, it wont turn over. I'm just curious if I spilled some transmission oil on the switch. Can someone tell me where the evil thing is?
Thanks again, you've helped a lot on here.

I think your B7610 would have the same setup. Hope this helps. Good luck!

WARNING SAFETY RANT

You have got to be joking! You are suggesting a very dangerous practise! I know you have said to put the tractor in to neutral first, but if anything can go wrong , it will. The only safe way to start the tractor is with the clutch depressed. This involves someone sitting on the seat.

While this certainly is a good safety practice, it should be noted that many new Kubota HST tractors do not have a clutch.

Thanks Herring, it's raining today and I've got a wicked cold so I'm waiting until it gets a little warmer and dry. I'm guessing that maybe the switch got greased while I was draining the oil but I'm not sure where it is. I'll give a thorough going over soon.
