I have not been following this form and have not been able to locate the thread where it says how to do this. I know this has probably been discussed many times. And I know back in the day you could just stick a wire in it and that would bypass it. But the last time I tried to do this (I think it was on a 800 series) Deere had more than two wires on it and I had to screw the bottom of the seat together to engage the switch. If someone should point me to the thread I would appreciate it. And I'm really not looking for the gloom and doomers to tell me your opinions on how unsafe this is. But If you have a good story though of how you cut your foot off or something due to disabling the safety seat switch. I would like to hear it so I could try to avoid doing the same thing. Thanks for the help.

That was easy, sorry too wast every one's time.
I just stuck a wire in it and will tape it up. The parking brake is next. And to the one that has the reverse button to push I just stuck a wire in the LA 100, if that is set up the same way.

I know it's been several months and the last few people to respond to this thread are long gone but here it is anyway. The main reason that I disabled the seat switch is so I can hop off to pick up trash, sticks, move stuff out of the way and etc. When your mowing is a big part of your income and already engaging the PTO 20 some times a day, if you can save some wear and tear on the cultch and belt then it is something to consider. I remember back on the 800 sires they would go through belts like candy and 90 percent of the time it was when you engage the blades. I know these are not the 800s and have come a long way. This may seem strange to some of you but when you grow up on them with out the safety switch it's real hard to get use to them. When I was little I would set the cruise on the 345 then hop on the hay wagon hooked to it and ride with my friends intill we got to the end of the feild, hop off and try to stop it before we crashed or went off the bluff. So the first I do when I get a new mower is take off the shields and disable the seat switch. And Yes the reverse look behind you switch is the stupidest thing they have come out with. It really does make it harder to look behind you and is a safety issue in it's self.
