SEAT SWITCH

[DONLI]

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

Works too and a bit easier. I preferred to have a choice.

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.

One might consider it an "ironic twist of fate", but I used a piece of "safety wire" to wire the "safety switch" closed.

not sure what the switch looks like on that model but, here's what I did...

 

[old and tired]

Yup, that's how it's done!!!! (I just didn't have a photo of it...) Watch out for the safety police on here...

I used a zip tie to keep the switch closed.

Did you try putting the engine in N, and setting the parking brake? My B2650 allows PTO operation off-the-seat when those conditions are met.
