When you say you have to fiddle with it to start, what are you fiddling with? Just the brake? I'd suspect the seat safety switch as well as the brake.
Dave, I'm sure I'm shifing my weight on the seat and messing with the brake at the same time.I was also woundering if there might be a safety switch between forward and reverse. This may be the day I have time to fire up the heater in the garage and do some checking. Not a good feeling when you want to show a friend your new tractor and it takes several minuets just to get the starter movin. Thanks for the suggestion on the seat and tires.
