Are you pressing the clutch in? Could be a bad/frozen clutch switch. My L3240 HST has to have the clutch pushed in to start. If I don't, it displays "clutch" on the LCD display.

Double check to make sure all the safety switches are in the correct position. Similar thing happened to me last fall after sister BF used tractor. I was told to check PTO safety, neutral safety. I was so sure it was something more complicated since I have had problems with my safety neutral switch.

Well after tracing wires and trying to track down the problem, sure enough BF had engaged the PTO (he didn't need to) and left it engaged.

So far none of the above, but thanks for your replys. Think I'll try jumping to the starter when it gets light out again. That may help me isolate it to the starter or safety switches ?
