    To be able to start a lawn tractor without you sitting on it, it has to have the parking brake engaged the PTO disengaged. If not the start switch will not work. All of these machines have safety devices to make sure that it doesn't decide to turn on while you have your hand in the deck area or something. Or a child does get a hold of the tractor and start it up by mistake.

    • @2vintage
      @2vintage  4 года назад +1

      yes i disabled/bypassed all the switches before trying to start it

    • @justallaround8614
      @justallaround8614 4 года назад +1

      @@2vintage did you try changing the key switch? They are cheap.
      You should get a signal as long as pto is disengaged and brake/clutch is locked into parking regardless if seat is up or down.
      If all else fails just remove all safety switches and put just a regular ignition switch.
      These machines are very basic and don't really need all of the extra wires to run.

    Murray's are junk basically. They are made cheap. Throw away mowers. That's why so many are tossed for scrap. They are the bottom feeder of lawn tractors. They do make great toys once the mowers turn to garbage. The quality of steel is poor at best compared to other lawn tractors. Most of the components. Bushings. Belt sheaves. Junk👍👍👍 it's easy to upgrade a Murray. Its all up from where they start. If they start. Lol.
