    Hi,
    Some of the L120/L130s were susceptible to wiring harness damage. In rare occasions it is near the PTO clutch plug. Most often it is somewhere along the right side of the frame in what is called the rear harness (it is the part going to the seat switch.) Check those wires for damage/breakage.
    Peace,
    Clarke
