J.D. X475 question

I just bought a nice X475 from my neighbor and was wondering if there's a way to bypass the under seat cutoff switch? I like to be able to have the machine running when I'm off it. My Kubota TG1860 was easy, and required a simple jumper plug under the seat, but it doesn't appear to be quite as straightforward on the X475. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Tnx..RUT

Sorry, but we don't help disable safety switches. We want to keep you and everyone safe. There are too many mower accidents every year...

Well, there you have it....thanks! I haven't actually taken possession of it yet, so I have yet to learn the many nuances of it. I got it mainly for use with the included snowblower, and am not about to give up my Kubota just yet. :)

I have seen customers that have owned a riding mower for years, and not know that you can set the parking brake and get off the mower with it running. People are funny.

Just cant do it with the deck engaged even with the parking brake set. This keeps your toes, feet, fingers, and hands properly attached.

I just happen a customer place the other when he had a deck clog. He was trying to unclog it with the deck operating. I manage to stop him short of losing any body parts.

Parking brake must be set, PTO or blades lever to off position should work.
