Abstract
An engine control circuit for a lawn tractor having a magneto-operated engine. The circuit includes a four-position switch. When in the first position, the engine is stopped. The engine is started in the fourth position. In the third position, the tractor's power take-off can be used only during forward movement of the tractor. When the operator selects the second switch position, the power take-off can be used regardless of the direction of movement of the tractor. An additional switch is included in the circuit to isolate the tractor drive from a reverse selection arrangement.
