B2601 quit

[johncrumbie]

Used my B2601 today for several hours nonstop. Mowing with MMM. Finished and got off to let it idle to cool down as I usually do. PTO off. Was idling, flipped seat forward and it shuts off immediately. No response from ignition switch other than glow plug light.
Battery has good voltage, checked fuses. Checked seat safety switches as well as I could. PTO still off. Tried everything in neutral.
Will try and recharge battery tonight though it shows 12.5 volts.
Any ideas as to what I'm overlooking.

I have a BX, but it takes just a little bit of movement in the PTO lever to prevent a start.

It’s also not a bad idea to rock your HST pedal to make sure something isn’t a little wonky there.

So if you dont touch the seat it idles fine, but if you flip the seat it shuts off?

No, idle fine, flip seat everything shut off. Remains shut off whatever I try.

No doubt the PTO or HST switch is causing this.

Was the issue with your B2601 resolved? Mine is doing the same thing now but it will restart. I've replaced the safety switch on the PTO but still doing it.
