Hey fellas... a little help!
last season my dad had the motor swapped out of his 782, and had a command CH23 (23 hp) installed. it runs like a champ, cant even make it work hard at all...
here in lies the problem... the safety switches are not wired right anymore. I am not sure if the mower will start with the pto switch on or not... that's a separate issue, i think.
Right now, as it is wired, you sit on the seat and start the tractor as normal. if you are still sitting on the seat and turn off the key, it shuts down fine. If you get off of the seat (w/o pto on) tractor will not turn off with key
you MUST push on or sit in seat to get key to turn off the tractor... the s/n is 704,xxx (some number, dont remember exact, but it's this wiring diagram:

can anybody help??
It would seem to me that perhaps, the seat switch is wired to the battery terminal of the switch rather than the ignition... when the circuit is open, (sit on seat) tractor will start and work fine, and when you turn the key off, that works too. now if the seat switch was wired into the battery terminal, and you do not sit on the seat (closing the circuit) then the battery current would have a path back to the coil to keep the tractor running, rather than grounding the coil to kill the motor
does that make sense?
