I really don't understand some of you question. If you disconnected the seat switch, did you put a jumper wire in the connector to replace the switch? If not, it won't turn over. If you jump the wire and it starts, be sure to investigate the seat switch. Operating the tractor with it disabled is a bad idea.

I agree with the previous quote that you need a jumper on the seat switch, but you might want to take the left rear tire off and make sure the safety switch on the P.T.O. lever is adjusted correctly I had that one come loose on mine.

It turned out to be the PTO connection behind the left tire.
Thanks very much.
Is there more than one safety switch location. For example does the mower connection have a switch which would also not let the tractor start or is it only the PTO?
Thanks Again
