Thanks for your reply. The plastic is cut out around the nut. I never realized what it was before, but the nut to tighten the lever is exposed. Crudely, but it works. Apparently the previous owner or his mechanic had this issue enough before to hack away the plastic for easy access!
As for the PTO, I know it's not the battery. It's 100% charged and checks out fine. I'll check out the switches, but if one of them was bad, wouldnt it prevent the tractor from starting?
