I finally tore myself away from Red Zone long enough to do something that was suggested and read the wiring schematic. I did exactly that and it's not that big of a deal. Yesterday got distracted with getting to that damned switch and figuring out how to tear the tractor down to get to a switch...

Thanks for responding. The cussing is a necessary evil, a funny comment about those who will find other ways to kill themselves. I do have and use meters, just can't get to the switch. Don't know of any other way to jump the safeties out, but I will keep at it. Midcompact tractors have...

This isn't my first post about this issue. Spooky as it may be, my first BX23 had similar no-start issues every so often, for no apparent reason, the tractor wouldn't start. It happened a few times in all its years of service, and it was the same tune each time: turned the key, all pertinent...

Thanks, One of the pans is coming off tomorrow.

Update: no loose wires at the starter, and no loose wires anywhere that I can see, also hst pedal is greased and moving freely. I did manage to access my HST neutral switch visually but the bracket and switch are not accessible without some serious dismantling of hydraulic lines and/or removal...

Got to say I am losing my religion over my no-start issues on my BX23S. Thank you for pointing out the obvious answer to my question about the post. I thought there had to be more to the story than a white wire disconnected. I have changed out 3 of 4 safety switches already, 1-pto, and 2-seat...

Hi-Any chance of finding out what happened?
