Hi,

My 12 HP mower has started doing strange things-

It is stuck in park so it won't roll forward or backwards

When you turn on the ignition nothing happens. I traced the problem to a metal rod which engages a safety switch under the panel -front right side.
The rod misses the switch when you depress the clutch. If you line it up manually the mower will start. Any ideas on these things ?

Richard

Try using several flat washers on both sides of the pin/bolt that holds the rod onto the switch. This should tighten up the connection. If that fails, splice the 2 wires together and it should start. don't know about being stuck in "park"! Didn't know they had "park". Mine only had a pin to pull out to keep it from rolling! That kept the brakes on.
