Thanks Seth for responding. I did not find the little pull handle behind the hand throttle. There is one in the lower area right side of where your feet go. I tried pulling this but nothing happen. Itraced the wire and through the access hole on the side of the machine I'm going to try and do it manually... hope it works Thanks, CarlosThere should be a little red pull handle on the right side behind the hand throttle if you lift it up it overrides the the solenoid. To get it to lift start the tractor pull the lap bar down hold up on the red pull cable with one hand while pushing out on the left stick with the other hand
