Won't start unless I mess with the switches on the left side of the tractor. Sometimes it will start and then at times it won't. Any suggestions as to what I need to adjust or whatever else may be the problem.

Thanks everyone,
I found a video on here that explained what was going on. It ended up being the switch for the speed pedal. It wasn't moving back and forth as much as needed. I cleaned the switch and then regreased the linkage and it works fine now. Thanks for your help.

That switch is called Operator Presence Control, when HST pedal is in neutral, this switch in depressed (linkage fails to depress switch, tractor will not start). Spraying the linkage to this switch from the HST pedal and the switch button with lubricant will keep both working properly, do this during your 10 hour greasing zerk fitting maintenance while under tractor.
the switch is located just forward of the Hydraulic filter on the right side, hard to see as it's up high. Just follow the linkage from the HST pedal.
