Mine does have a compression release but I would certainly never shut it off with that. Mine does shut off when I push the hand throttle all the way forward but there is no "stop" at the idle point and I was wondering if there is supposed to be?

thanks,

No.

That is correct. My 2220D has both. They are identical T-handles with the compression release on the left side of the pedestal and the fuel shutoff on the right side below the throttle lever.

My 1602D does in fact have both a compression release and a fuel shutoff......in this photo, the T-handle on the right, down by the key fob is the fuel shutoff. The compression release can just be seen on the left, below the steering wheel, a grey L shaped lever you pull out.

You are right Jagman and I spoke (wrote) out of ignorance. Sorry to impugn your veracity.

There is always something to learn. I wrote it and then realized that you were writing from the perspective of a 1602 with which I am not familiar. Sorry.

I was thinking the same thing Mike, except I was pretty sure Dave Knew better. Thought only the F models had a fuel shut-off.

Hey, no worries mate!

I'm always surprised at the variety of setups I find in one MFR's lineup, and some of it does not follow logic either. Like the 1601 and 1602 being built on different frame sizes, I did not know that for example. But, that's why we're all here, to learn from each other, and I'd be the first to admit I have learned a ton already from being here, and have more than that yet to go......

It turns out my 1610D does have a throttle idle detent, at least it does now. The hand throttle has a tube on it that takes a ball, spring, and cutter key. The ball fits into a hole when the throttle is pushed forward to the idle point. My tractor had what looks like a new hand throttle but didn't have these parts. Got the parts from Hoye and it works well.

No, you can "idle" at what ever speed you want, there is no detent.
