:mad:I am tired of my kubota L3010 HST not cranking because one of the switches has not been made.

The one for setting to neutral is the one that gives me fits. I am considering bypassing it.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Not that I'm telling you to modify a safety feature but if I was going to do it I would suggest using one of those wire splicers that fit over two wires and you push the little metal blade thru the insulation with a pair of pliers. The blue ones easily fit over the 2 wires going and coming from the safety switch and joint them together therefore by passing the switch. Tape it up good and problem solved. The benefit of this method is that no wires need to be cut and the splicers can be removed with almost no damage to the wire other than the small cut in the insulation which can easily be taped up. My high/low shifter had a switch in the neutral position that gave me a fit. It works every time now.

Yes! Don't,its there for safety .You may forget its disconnected or you may fall ill or have an accident and another person may start it in gear.

I think I agree with that one. That is one switch that should not be bypassed. Spend the bucks and replace it.:eek:
