It has one button under the key in operator's upper left that, after starting the engine, you can press to get a green light which engages the bucket. It also has another button in the operator's upper right that you can activate for aux. Now that I think about it, I wonder if the inexperienced guy pressed this button and, if so, whether that would have caused the issue. When I get home this afternoon, I'm going to start by releasing the tension on the belt to remove the pumps from the equasion. then I'll find out if it will trun over. If not, I'll remove the starter and do a bench test and also try to turn the flywheel. This conversation has really helped me think everything through. I'll post back what I find out this evening. Again, I really appreciate the advice and I'm definitely digging this forum.</p></blockquote><p></p>
