Anyone know how the stop solenoid works on a Kubota T1600?

I know this is old, but wouldn't a momentary switch wired from the battery to the solenoid also work?

The reason I ask is the previous owner bypassed all the safety switches on my mower too. I have to get off and manually move the stop solenoid with a wire handle he fashioned.
