Hello i have just joined. I have not been able to solve this problen my 3830 will start but will die in about 2 or 3 seconds i can turn switch off and back on and keep it running.
i have changed the seat switch it was bad i have changed the solenoid stop.
Im thinking about cutting the old solenoids shaft and reinstalling it. The switch test good. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome aboard!

I'm guessing some kind of safety switch too. Is your PTO disengaged?

Hello all :). I've been scratching my head again trying to figure out whats going on. I've checked voltage and sensors. I messed with the pto lever changed it back and forth with the tractor not running then i started it and it ran good for a while then suddenly died like turning it off with the key. Could the pto sensor cause this problem? I'm going to check my opc(operator presence control) and replace it if is bad. I may just go ahead and pony up the $80 if that dont fix i will have a used opc for sale. I got lucky on the solenoid stop switch the dealer is going to let me bring that back if the opc solves the problem. This has been a real challenge. I will be letting ya all know when i get this figured out and share my learning. In the mean time if anyone had any ideas let me know. Thanks

Yes i hope it turs out to be the pto switch. while it was running good i engaged the pto and stood up and the motor shut off almost immedaitely. The opc is supposed to kill it in .7 to 1 second it seem to quick. i ran out of time to check it.

To anyone who may have the same porblem in the future. It was the operator presense control module (opc).
