Toro ss4235 cutting out when handles pulled in - video

[Fish]

If he runs it with the ignition kill wire unplugged, and it still shuts down, then that would point more to the brake actuator as the culprit, of course only if the test of the keyswitch checked out, and assuming that the seat switch is bypassed correctly as well.

The key switch legend is easy to read.

On your system the kill relay is built into the brake actuator. To my knowledge this is a non testable part. I would backup and check the two switches on your motion control arms. If they are working properly then I would go to the PTO switch. I know that you said that they were working properly, but when trying to solve electrical problems, YOU NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING, until you test it and can verify that it is good. I have seen many PTO switches go back causing this problem. Sorry, but I have tried to find my procedure to test the PTO switch, but am having no luck. Do you have a 5 or 6 prong switch? I may have to redo the procedure, if I can't find it.

There isn't an hours meter on it

It had this issue before I bypassed the seat switch.

Have you tried any of today's suggestions?

OK, throw us a little bone... What happens if you start it up, and instead of futzing with the handles, you engage the pto switch, what happens then?

Also, start it up, and stand up, without futzing with the handles or the pto switch......What happens?

That is a lot easier than my other questions.

Thanks Fish. I have been at work all day so as soon as I get home in a couple of hours I will do these tests and report back.

Most of the experts here are sitting around in their underwear, fighting with each other, waiting for spring....... It may be ugly, but they all love it!!!!!
