    I have a 2017 TB30, and maybe my story could help someone else as well...
    On my 2017, the brake-engage switch is up inside the frame on the right side. A mere 3-inches from the chute/plug switch. (I had no idea it was there..)
    When I removed my deck last fall, I forgot to unplug the chute switch, and it was tugging on the wires. When I realized that, I unplugged it and went about my business.
    When I reinstalled the deck, the mower would not start. I immediately checked the chute switch, and all other ones.(Numerous times!)
    All were fine. After going crazy and pulling the solenoid to bench test, I checked the wiring diagram online. I saw the 4th switch in the diagram, but had to search for it on the mower.
    When I found the damn thing, I discovered that by tugging at the wiring for the chute switch, it had pulled the brake switch out of alignment. (It has one mounting point, and can pivot.)
    I pushed it back into alignment, and BAM! I went through hell for 3 days with that little debacle. Here's hoping this will save someone else!! Lol

    I'm having an issue with this mower. Ran and cut fine. Shut down in the middle of cutting. Found a blown fuse. Replaced fuse and will blow fuse as soon as key is turned before the starter can even engage. Replaced ignition switch but no change. I'm guessing some type of short but no clearly visible exposed wires. Any suggestions ?

    • @IndRepair
      @IndRepair  2 дні тому

      Disconnect one thing, safety or switch at a time and see when it stops blowing. Start by disconnecting the starter since it only happens when key is to "start" position correct?

    On my 2012 TB30, I can not find a park interlock switch. I had no problem finding the other PTO, deck and seat switch. I see no wires going to the steering column base area even after removing both plastic bases. So, is it possible that there is no park interlock on my 2012 model TB30?

    • @IndRepair
      @IndRepair  Місяць тому

      It looks like it is in the back underneath on what would be the right side if looking at the mower from behind. Have someone move the brake and see what is moving in back, there will be an interlock switch there somewhere

      Turns out if you tug at those wires, it can misalign that brake switch. (they are only inches from each other).
