Pto has one (under the linkage)

Thank You !
Ren well yesterday. After shutting down for a short time, I could not get the unit to CRANK. I can hear the starter clicking when trying to start. Battery is fully charged.
The Bucket was not completely down when I turned the Engine off, but I lowered Bucket a while later.

Bucket will have nothing to do with starting.......
Now - IF the pto lever is engaged ..... It will not start.
IS it the starter you here clicking or the fuel pump????? The fuel pump sounds like a bomb in the movies ticking ............ tick tick tick .......
the starter would be a loud CLICK and nothing .......
YOU in the seat when turning the key? IF so - move the HST pedal ...... back and forth and see if it allows you to start it.
Check the cables AT the battery - remove the front cover and look at the leads carefully - could be a lose connection there too.
report back what you find out

Thank You again Hoke.
I finally got it to start. I had the PTO in off position worked the HST pedal several times -nothing. I noticed that the PTO lever was in the off position but NOT in the SLOT at the top of the holder. I wiggled the lever a little and it started. the liver does not want to stay in the top or off SLOT. I think I will put a wedge in the track to keep it in the SLOT. This has happened before. When this situation first started, I would simply move all of the levers to correct. However the last two times I have had problems. Now I know that the Bucket Has nothing to do with Starting, and the PTO must be in the OFF position.
Thank You again for your Help

Rather than place a wedge in it - dive down under - look at the switch and see if you can adjust it so it is making contact when the PTO is in the off position. I know those switches are a real PITA .... but they are there for a good reason...... WHEN they work correctly!!!!!!!

I have a BX2360...about the same generation as Hokie's and WP Partridge's BX25.
Since new 8 years ago, about once a month I hit that F#$#ing PTO lever when dismounting and stall the tractor.
A couple times a year she won't fire....guess what is the culprit...
I'm a big guy, and I just tend to hit the lever getting off the tractor. Only takes a 1/4"+ of movement of the lever.....
WP Partridge - - I would follow Hokie's advice as far as checking the connections/switch, etc.
In this case, I think a wedge to hold the lever in it's slot would be fine. I wouldn't wedge the switch itself - - just the lever's position.
