I have a B2320 that has given me no problems. However,yesterday it wouldn't turn over. After checking some of the obvious things I disconnected the safty switch below the seat. It started. I turned it off very happy with myself. However today I went to use it and it started but now I tried to move with no luck. When I step on the forward(front) pedal and reverse (back) pedal I can hear the engine undergoing a slight load. Or maybe it's the hydraulic pump. I would appreciate any help and advice.

Don't know your tractor so you can decide how to accept my suggestion to make certain there is not a hi low range gear lever in a middle position because you hit it working on the seat. It is like a neutral position by accident not design

1. Check the gear lever.
2. Check the brakes.
3. Check your fluid level.
4. Call your dealer.

sounds like the safety switch under the seat to me. It doesn't use the seat switch to start, but it does to move (operator presence). So, check it again (you may need to jump the wires) after checking to see if the brakes are on.

You can jumper out the safety switch (not advised) and it'll work, you can't though just remove it. Have to complete the circuit.
