L3130 issue

[Ranger62]

Hey guys,new to the site. My issue is this, I have a 2007 L3130 with about 700 hours on it. It has the HST,cruise etc. I was bush hogging and when I disengaged the PTO the tractor cut off and will not start back. The display reads HST Neutral, also indicates that my mid PTO is engaged. The problem is I don't not have one,not even a lever for one. I have checked the PTO switch, neutral safety switch and the clutch safety switch and they all ohm at 0.2. It's still displaying the same message. I'm out of ideas guys,any suggestions ? No issues prior to this. Thanks in advance !

Welcome, Ranger. Your tractor is much too new, for me to know much about it, other than generically. Is it possible that there is a wiring harness, for the mid pto, that got yanked, and or shorted/opened? Lots of times, brush yanks stuff loose...

I don't have a mid pto and haven't located a wiring harness in that location. Thanks anyway

Just a guess, but something electrically is mad. Just because you dont have a mid PTO doesnt mean one wasnt an option, they wouldnt add the indicator in the dash for grins.

Seat switch normal? PTO switch open or closed when PTO is in Neutral?

It sounds like something is closed when it shouldnt be and making dash angry.

I dont know why, but I upgraded to the alternator and every now and again I have to turn on headlights for fuel gauge to work. Turn lights back off and gauge still works....

I have checked the PTO switch,clutch safety switch,HST neutral switch and seat switch. Everything checks on at 0.2. I even tried jumping around these switches with no luck. I don't know where else to look at this point.

Should they all be closed all the time? If PTO is closed all the time wouldnt the machine assume the PTO is engaged all the time? Mine wont start with PTO engaged, at all, forget about it...

Ok guys I found the problem. The key stop fuse (5 amp) under the steering column was blown. Why that gave a mid pto light I don't have a clue but when I checked/changed it, she cranked and ran the rest of the day without a problem. Thanks for the input.
