I believe that is going to take me some time to get use to it. or I will have to change it for another tractor. Thanks!!
I suspect there's a way to by-pass that safety feature.
I don't know specifically how it works, however I'm sure someone here could point you in the right direction..
**My BIL's JD rider (after a tire change) wouldn't crank over. He pointed out the brake safety switch (brake had to be pushed in to crank start). The switch is plastic and half of it broke off(no way to zip tie/attach it back on-needed a new switch).
Anyway, to get it back in the truck (uphill), I zip tied the plastic switch pin IN (as if activated) so it would run (and it did).
He prefers it set up as such and left it that way..
My Snapper self propelled, walk behind mower (7HP Intek), had the typical safety brake/kill switch assembly when purchased. As I'm the only one that uses it, the bar and brake assembly got scrapped..
Made an aluminum bracket(attached to where the brake was), put a toggle on/off switch there and wired it in. No more bar, keeps running till I flip the switch... Been that way 13 years now..
