BX25D probs with safety circuit.

[Bertie]

G'day everyone.
Having some annoying, intermittent problems, I think with safety circuit on my BX25D.
Occasionally when I want to use backhoe, as soon as I start to operate it, engine stops.
It seems that if I move my body on the seat it stops, too.
Sometimes when using FEL, when I get off tractor, engine will splutter, or stop after a few seconds.
I'm suspecting forward /reverse pedal not neutralizing ?
Or some switches or relays in safety circuit intermittent problems.
Can I bypass safety circuit (temporarily), or will that make tractor dangerous to operate.
Any advice on where to start looking would be appreciated,
as I want to avoid taking it to dealer who is in a Covid lockdown area.
Other than a couple of small problems, I'm really impressed by what work this little tractor can do.

Yes you can bypass the safety switches (jumpers at the correct place in the wiring harness connector or put the switches into the correct position and tie them closed (or open)

Yes the tractor is less safe and is more likely to hurt you, but you can be extra careful when troubleshooting the switches.

The first place to start is to get an operation manual with a wiring diagram and study them so you understand what each switch should do when actuated.

I suspect that the safety switches at the seat are faulty or the hst pedal switch is maladjusted. Both are frequently reported as trouble areas.
