Dynamark won't shut off

Cleaning can be a hassle. When I drop the deck I place an old rug under it so when it is free of the lawn tractor I can tug on the rug to pull it out.

Sometimes, like you, I hose it off but then I use my leaf blower or air compressor to dry it top and bottom.

300 hours is very good life for a set of blades.

Some of the guys on this board have sprayed the underside of their deck with epoxy paint to help shed the grass clippings. One of my neighbors even tried "Pam" and WD-40. He said it worked reasonably well but he got tired of having to apply it everytime he cut his grass. Go figure.

Good luck,

Regular upkeep is the key to a long life.

Witht he lid tipped up, i can look dfown into engine and on the right hand side there is a cable coming our fomr under engine cover which i assume is fomr coil of engine

it has a sapde termianl on it that should have a black wire fomr the ignitoin switch taht when the key is in off pistion will ground out the coil by the wire hooked up to this spade connection.

one way u can test this theroy would be to take a wire form neg termial of battery and put it on this terminal on side of engine, it sould ground it out and make engine stop

i catuoi u shold do this with engine running but switch in off position so u are nto shroting out other things at the same time

if this shuts down engine u know the source of your problem and acna then tracae wire fromkey switch to this termial on engine, hook it up and it sould slove your problem

best wishes

Pat

hope this helps...

Good luck
