Hi Bill, re brakes, could be one of many problems. 1)Lack of hydraulic oil for PB master cylinders.

Leave tractor a day or two, then before starting engine, test each brake individually to see if one or both have lost their prime.

Re starting, are you using the START position on the STOP/START/RUN lever? The decal usually falls off and owners are unaware of START position.
