I connected the wires on the seat switch with a paper clip and the tractor works fine so you were right. Thank you for the help! I'm back in business and can clean stalls and move hay! Thank you to everyone who offered suggestions.

Looked under the seat and the switch looks ok, but I'm not sure how to check if it's burned up. Cannot move forward but inches before it cuts off today, but could inch my way along in reverse and it kept running without any black smoke. I appreciate all the suggestions.

Re: Tractor stalling and emitting black smoke It is a B7800. I've had no trouble with it at all until the lurching forward started. It does start up easily but as soon as I touch the pedal, it acts like it's going to cut off and spews the black smoke.

Thank you. I will take a look at that tomorrow.

Tractor stalling Can anyone give me suggestions for troubleshooting this issue? New battery and starts up fine, but if you touch to pedal (either forward or reverse), it starts to cut out. Take your foot off the pedal and it spits out black smoke. I appreciate any suggestions.

I need help, please. My tractor is about 10years old and is maintained regularly. All of sudden, it started lurching forward and stalling after moving a few feet. We've cleaned everything we can think of, changed the filter, checked the fuel and can find nothing wrong. Does anyone have any...
