How to Bypass the Seat Safety Switch on a Riding Lawnmower. 

This video was short and right to the fix and only 1 I have given thumbs up on so far! So people think it should all be about them talking blah blah blah ugh! Thank you!

We have the exact same plug on our Cub Cadet zero turn and i did EXACTLY what you did here and it will work! My girlfriend weighs only 85 lbs and she can't even use her new zero turn because of this damn switch oufffff!

Thank you so much.I learned a lot good video

I did the credit car method. It works keeping the engine on when off the seat, but the engine dies when i engage the blades. I took the card out and plugged back in and blades engage no issues.

Thanks this video is the I needed because I just bought a John deer mower and I’m 10 my legs are to short to hold down the clutch while I’m on the seat

Thanks dude for the first time a video that explains it shows it and disclaims it. Fug that took to long to find this video

Thanks!

Can you explain the seat switch to me? Without messing with the switch can your zero turn lawn mower still be started without sitting on it? For example as long as the parking brake is on and all your safety switches are met, can you stand and start your mower so the engine can warm before you mow the grass?

The 4 prong removal didn’t work on my mower. It had no effect. I didn’t have time to test for continuity with my multi meter though.

It worked great. Thanks

So the safety seat switch on my Craftsman mower is pretty much like yours except with the 4 prongs....I took it out like you showed, hooked the plug back in.....and my seat safety switch....IS STILL WORKING!!! That's just my luck. I am going to try to just completely disconnect it....and we shall see what happens.

On the John Deere D105 by you bypassing the safety switch will it go Forward and backwards from a seat spring that broke?

Remember that in the Deep South an awl is called a "you awl" or "y'all".

Sometimes these so called safety switches are such a distraction they are counterproductive . Example , the backup consent sw. instead of looking at where are backing your eyes are hunting For that stupid switch .

This is waste of time, a small piece of coated card to hold the connection open is all you need and it takes two seconds to remove. Should you ever have to take it to a dealer as some will not work on bypassed equipment

Seat pto this does not work. I swear to god even though youtube lets ANYBODY post how to videos some people just shouldn't

Not sure why You Tube recommended this. But it is asinine to do this. Then you show other people how to do the same? As someone who has seen the damage that can be done to the human body, by spinning lawn mower blades, this is very dangerous. Only a fool would disable a safety switch on any piece of equipment.
