It's a common problem with the B-series but also an easy fix. I assume your HST pedal isn't returning to neutral and therefore won't let the tractor start? If this is the case the culprit is the little rod that pushes the safety switch to tell the tractor the pedal is in neutral. It rides in a little tube and that tube can get corrosion in it. This whole assembly is right above and behind the pedal pivot (also make sure to grease the pedal pivot) Some light oil or grease sprayed into the tube should fix the problem. If you want to disassemble it coat it with light grease, if not shoot a little WD40 in there. My B3200 has a little over 400hrs on it, only had the problem you are experiencing once, after a little oil it hasn't reoccurred.
