A bad switch was shorting out. Stole the one off the other tractor until I can get a replacement.
While I was at it, I went ahead and changed the hydro fluid:
I have no reference to go on, but it didnt look 'that' bad. Some sludge. And a bit brown (not red). Worth changing (along with the filter).
And adjusted the hydro linkage so it wouldnt creep in neutral, and the brakes adjusted. While I was in there I replaced the trunion springs and caps - they needed it, the smaller spring was the same height as the larger one (got squished at some point).
Ready for more snow.
