I've been having problems with my L3830 cutting in and out once it warms up. I can hear a solenoid clicking intermittently when the key is on without the engine running. I can usually get it to re-start, but it will just randomly start acting up, then shuts down. I replaced the seat switch, cleaned all fuse contacts.

ALSO, I noticed that I can get out of the seat with the PTO running and operate the forward/reverse pedal without the tractor shutting off. It never did this before.

With what you describe you have a bad pedal switch or wiring. ;)
