It was a good question and I appreciate the helpful dialog.

The solenoid is actually on a timer circuit, so it holds the solenoid while the engine is shutting down. That means the alternator would no longer be giving voltage to the circuit, then it would rely on the battery. So, maybe that's where a weak battery could be problematic.

The solenoid runs off a 10A circuit. The fuse was blown, preventing the solenoid from actuating. While searching for a solution before finding the fuse, I came across this video on YouTube. This was an easier and quicker way to shut down the engine than the method I used.

Yes, that's where I found mine, too. Turned out to be a blown fuse. Got it working again. Thanks for the help everyone, except SidecarFlip.

Thx for the link. I do have the paper OM, and I've just dl'd the WSM.

My apologies for bothering you for an answer. Now, smarty, where's the fuse panel? I clearly don't know my tractor that well.

Where are the fuses located?

The engine starts fine. No sluggish start whatsoever.

Hi folks, long time, no visit! I was wrapping up some night-mowing this evening. I knew my fuel level was low and on one of my last passes in the back yard, the engine shut down. I disconnected the PTO, lowered the throttle, and restarted it. I slowly drove back to the garage and turned the key...

I bought a LandPride box blade (BB1248) for counterweight on my BX1870. Now, my poor front tires don't get squished when I have the loader bucket full of dirt or whatever. I'm very happy with it. After going thru the brief hassle of removing/mounting the BB many times, I decided to get the...

Haha! That's great advice. :D I do need to do some rearranging in there, in all honesty. I have two generators that could be kept in my shed, which also needs to be thinned out and organized. Too many projects, not enough time. LoL

That's actually the BB1248. It's about 320lbs. My neighbor has a ~3ft section of railroad iron that he's giving me, and I'll affix that to the back, if I ever need it. Re: the garage, that's actually "my" section of the 3-car attached garage; the single car garage. That's where I've been...

Here it is!

Yeah, perhaps that's what I should have done, since that's how he answered me. LOL OK, I just got back from picking up my box blade. Funny as it may seem, he actually commented on my email "abilities", and how I was giving him a good lesson on it. LOL I simply said, "Well, I know what I...

Awesome! Great info. I finally got the right info from my dealer rep, today, so I'm going to pick it up in about an hour. I vented about it, here. I'm going to have them load it in my truck, then I'll lift it out with my loader.
