yes but whats a 12 volt light bulb do that connected across the start solinod when the key is turned to start ?

id bet it don't lite! this is proof theres a high resistance fault in one of your safety switches (very common)

ether switch bad fuse blown behind dash or pto bad if pto 300.00

Sounds like your cable might of broken. watch the deck end of the cable when you pull the lever up. If it is not moving the pully, it is broken. If you are trying to start with lever still up, even though the deck is not running, the safety switch is usually up on the lever. Try disengaging the deck lever, sit in seat, apply brake or parking brake and turn key to start. Let me know if that doesnt work and we can go from there.

With many of these Tractors, as part of the safety B.S., much of the electronics run through the PTO switch. Power to the ignition runs through the PTO.

unplug the clutch and see if it blows a new fuse if not pull the clutch off and check for bare wires that may have rubbed against metal

check the wires they rub on sharp edges

I have the exact problem, have to start with PTO engaged?
