You unscrew it from the bracket.

I have heard mention of a HST safety switch but never have seen one. All the HST's I have seen have only the clutch and PTO switches.

You have one if you have an HST

If you remove the floor mat and the Hydro pedal, you will have an access hole through the floor to the switch.

I have a L4310. It has a clutch switch. It was never equipped with a switch on the HST pedal. I have to have the clutch depressed to start the tractor. I can have the HST pedal out of neutral position and start the tractor as long as the clutch is depressed.

I've looked over every diagram I have access to (and its a lot of info) and I don't see any clutch switch on any HST diagrams.
But it sounds like you're might have a clutch switch?
Wouldn't be the only oddity that I've seen on a Kubota.

From what I have read, can't find it right now, The early units had a HST switch and then they went to the clutch switch. I see a change in the switches at the 70000 sn break.

I would suspect this would be a more robust configuration.

Welcome to Kubota oddities 101:
You are exactly right they either eliminated the HST switch on later models or added a second switch can't tell.

What is the tractors serial number, as it may or may not have an HST switch.
