I am new to this site. It seems like a great place for information. I just bought my very first tractor, a TO20. I will use this tractor for cutting and plowing around my deer camp.
I have two questions that I would like to ask:
1. One thing that I noticed when I got it was that it will crank in gear. I know this was not the factory configuration and wanted to know if there was something simple that I could look for to see what a previous owner might have done to bypass it. I assume there is a switch that is pressed when the gear shift is in the "S" location.
Do these switches go bad over time and folks just bypass them? I assume this is what happened. To me this is dangerous, the last thing I want is for someone to reach up and crank the tractor and it take off and hurt someone/something.
2. The finger tip control is VERY touchy and will drift down with vibration. Is there something that originally was there to lock this control into place?
