b3200 hst won't start

[yamiacaveman]

Sorry for beating this topic to death. So I believe it was made about 2011 or so - this problem started years ago but I found out by disengaging the pto and pushing all the petals several times it would start back up. This time it didn't - some of the things I checked, battery good - continuity of what I believe to be 2 saftey switches under seat, re-lubed up linkage for all petals and levers.
So I found a post by Dave_eng that gave some pretty nice pics and explanations, thanks Dave_eng!
I will try to upload a couple of pics if they make it here I thought the long thing was the hst safety switch, but after looking at Dave_eng pics I believe it is the unit behind the end of what I thought was the hst safety switch.
So, this getting old stuff, lol, anyway my tractor and my manuels (that I thought I brought home) are 3 hours away and I will not be there again for about a week or so.
Does anyone have a link for the parts manual. when I get back there I am going to try to follw the posts here to repair things but if I can't I will need to replace. So in the mean time I would like to at least look up all the safety switches and see if I can locate them and purchase if need be.

Thanks for any help

So the part I posted in the picture, it seemed to be connected to the hst pedal, is that like a gas strut of some sort to help keep it centered?

So I looked at the link you sent for parts - Messicks looking up there for B3200HSD (Hydrostatic Transmission, 4wd /Rops) Parts
Electrical system - b10100 switch
I see the 2 seat switches have the same part number - so are they the same but a different view right side up or down? and the Saftey switch 5t057-42230 will that also be the same part for the HST pedal safety switch - and also the pto switch 1 and 2?

Update and solved.

I ordered parts and started to figure out how I was going to attack the hst safety switch, when a much younger neighbor with good eyesight looked underneath and saw that the rod was not lining up with the safety switch.
So the rod apparently popped out of the holder, he pushed it back in, and good to go.

That rod tends to stick and needs a little wd40 a couple times a year. it should look like this photo.

Dag napp-it,I hate when that happens. It makes us look like Ned in the fourth grade missing things like that.
