How To Bypass Your Riding Mower Seat Switch
Very simple way is to bypass the seat safety switch on your Craftsman or Husqvarna Tractor.
PLEASE DON'T DO THIS! The switch is there to save you from serious injury or death

    So I just removed mine… but it still shuts off when I get up? Not too sure why it didn’t change anything

    I'm not sure when Husqvarna made the change but sadly the fix you showed here didn't work for me. Instead, I had to press the seat button down and run a zip tie around the tabs to hold the switch down.

    I think this video was informative but I have to say this landscaping company I worked for like 100 years ago did it to a commercial mower and 2 people almost lost there legs by the engine not stopping and the blades engaged. This Landscaping company went out of business years ago. They probably got in trouble for taking the safety switches off the equipment.

    The craftsman t2400 is disabled and won't fire unless the peice is slide back in reversed then it's truly bypassed

    A messy way of doing that. It’s just cut the plug. off the end of the cord

    I literally was about to return this mower. Then I saw your video! Thank God! I have a bumpy country yard and every 5 feet (no exaggeration!) I would have to turn the blades back on! Stupid! It was truly MORE DANGEROUS than having the safely switches functional. I LOVE my mower now... thanks to you!!

    This saved me from throwing a wrench through my glass door, it saved me from pushing the mower 100 feet... not sure why, but with only 5 hours, the seat switch failed. This saved me a call to the dealer.. thanks

  • @jonathanfegelein9361
    @jonathanfegelein9361 11 месяцев назад

    This is a very sturdy and well built mower. I thought I wouldn't like the foot operated speed control but after one use ruclips.net/user/postUgkxTZSPVwJFBv2hORqhQamtxi-tAe5K2EtC , I can't believe I ever had one without it. It drives like a car with an automatic transmission. Easy to adjust mowing speed according to grass depth/thickness. I have yet to get used to the long throw of the blade engagement lever but kind of get why it is that way. It allows you to hold mowing for short moments if you need. The engine seems very substantial and the frame has very little flex, both adding up to an impressive package. All my previous tractors were 18 to21 hp with 42in decks. This one is 23/46. I mow about 1.5 acres about every 5 days here in Alaska and that mowing time has been reduced by about 20%, partly due to the very tight turning radius. No loop arounds lol. Hour meter, cruise control, reverse mowing capability,deck cleanout and easy assembly all add up to a very well thought out tractor.

    Perhaps they can make them with adjustable sensitivity or simply more sensitive for lighter weight riders on rough ground.

  • @solarsynapse
    @solarsynapse 11 месяцев назад

    Nice! I removed the switch from the seat and put a zip tie around it to keep it pressed.

    Outstanding share thanks one of the most informative videos I've seen in a while also the clarity is right on time. I'm trying to figure out why my country clipper isn't starting. I've put in a new battery a new solenoid a start switch and a pto switch and still nothing. Thats why I thought I'd try disengaging the safety switch for the seat. The search will continue.

    Thank you! 👍🏼 you helped me out a lot. I was finally able to finish my 2 acre lawn : ) but..., right at the end, my front wheel fell off. Just the C clip. I already got one from my other wheel falling off so no worries. Just gotta wait till it cools off. Have a great day!

    I got a cheap Poulan pro and gonna buy a Husqvarna next. Because even though the Poulan is not great, it was still very good and better then expected for the last ten years. But with this seat disabled i can keep on going with it : ) thanks my problem is fixed now.

    I'm just going to take a plastic card (old cc, membership, or those fake ones they send every day in the mail) and cut it to fit, slide it between the contacts, and tape it in for good measure. I think this would do the trick? Seems easier to undo, if needed.

    • @randomstuff8191

    Thank you so much. The seat switch checks out perfect, yet the engine dies, I have been on yt searching, and some guys said something about shorting feature in the plug in. Big puzzle until your vid! I pushed out that demonic feature from the factory and presto- let the clutch out and IT RUNS. God bless you. Mike

    Wow. Thank you so much for posting this. I've been frustrated with my mower for the last week fixing safety switches that didn't need fixed. This is the only thing that worked in the last dozen RUclips videos I've watched. Cheers.
