I finally got the L2900 back friday afternoon. They backed it off the trailer, did the paperwork and off they went. I went in the house got my key and .... nothing. The starter did not spin not even a sputter. :-( It was raining, it was cold and I was not a happy camper.

Saturday wasn't much better weather wise but inbetween drizzle showers I went out hoping to find a safety switch or interlock that must have been out of adjustment. It was very frustrating because when they deliverd it, he just stuck in his key, turned the switch it started right up. Finally called it a day and hoped for weather more condusive to find the problem.

Sunday afternoon I called my BIL to come over and lend a hand. He tried everything I'd already tried, push in the clutch, set the brakes, jiggle the PTO switch, put the tranny in N, put the shuttle in N. Then it happened, the starter turned! Then it wouldn't do it again. We finally tracked it down to the micro-switch on the shuttle lever. After a slight field modification to the brand new switch, I was off and running.

The new clutch makes for a totally different machine. The machanic said that when they picked it up they didn't think it was the clutch since it operated well in the low gear range, but when they split the tractor he said that it looked like a rat's nest, worst they had ever seen. They checked out the rest of the tractor for me while they had it and said that over all it was very sound.

Total cost including pickup and delivery: $1381.56, $200 below the estimate. I'm just glad to get this whole affair behind me.

Thanks to everyone who chimed in and offered support.
