The owner walks through the safety-switch chain in order of likelihood: seat switch, then the two PTO switches (which fixed his no-start), then the pedal neutral switch, then fuses. No teardown detail beyond pointing to each switch's location. Best for L3400 owners diagnosing a no-crank/no-start condition themselves.
Posted by an owner sharing what fixed his own no-start problem, not a dealer or professional technician.
It is likely a safety switch issue. Check the seat switch first, then the two PTO switches, then the pedal neutral switch, and finally the fuses.
The two PTO switches, one on the left and one on the right, were the actual cause and replacing them fixed the no-start problem.
Unbolt the assembly from the back right fender, then move it over to get down into the two PTO switches to change them.
It is behind a plate and disengages or engages when the pedal is dead center for neutral; misalignment can cause a no-start.
