DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DEACTIVATE THE SEAT SWITCH ON A L3301? SHORT OF PUTTING A CONCRETE BLOVK ON IT?
I HAVE TO STANDUP TO HOOKUP MY FL ATTACHMENTS AND THE ENGINE KEEPS SHUTING OFF.

THANKS FOR ANY INFO/HELP!

You can install a bypass rocker switch in an open slot if you have one. Common practice for things like running generators when you have a fixed seat vs. the tilt up. Did one on my L5460 when I put an air ride seat in.

I simply made a jumper for the switch

Don't know if this is possible but for my L2800, there was enough extra wire going to the OPS, to where I was able to loop the wire over the lever that held down the arm which would allow me to get off the tractor with the PTO running!! (you can stand up and drive forward... doing that). Now if yours is hooked into your seat... this might not work.

I simply trimmed about 1/8" of insulation off both wires near the connector and then twisted the connector so that the bare wires were twisted together. Put a drop of silicone sealer on the splice to insulate it.

Obviously, you can do this on either side of the connector.

Did That and it works.
