Just used the mower today. What a joy to be able to start and stop the mower without the hinderance of those darn safety switches. I drive it about the same as before. That is; I use the brake when I stop it, and flip on/off the blades when needed and you have to move the front handles to get it...

It was basically connecting 4 wires together. And the seat separately. Ken

You still have to turn the lever to make the blades turn. This just eliminates all the other starting issues, Ken

SUCESS!!! I was able to bypass all the safety switches! It was relatively easy once I knew where the wires originated from. Runs so nice now with no messing with the brake, arms position or seat just to start it. Thanks for the help and the diagrams. Ken

My ZD 28 Zero turn safety switches operates way different than my BX loader. With the loader the safety switches are a non-issue. Ken

As soon as the weather in my area cools, I will first try bypassing the seat switch since it is the easiest to get at. Ken

Greensvillejay, Each switch has failed and has been replaced at least once. It seems the biggest pain is the one attached to the brake. Sometimes even while in motion it will stop, and I have to play with the brake/pedal to get it to start again. Talking to a Kubota salesperson at the local...

So, I just checked the hour meter, and it has 1140 hours on it. It is a 72" ZD 28HP and to replace it today would be in the neighborhood of $20,000+. And, as I have mentioned the dealer for my area has taken up to 4 weeks to replace a defective switch because they are always backed up in the...

Thanks for the replies. I have maintained the machine as well as possible, but it does take a beating. I bought it new in I think 2006-2008. I have taken it to the dealer when the switches malfunction as I have stated at least 6-7 times. Sometimes it takes 4 weeks to get it back from repair...

BTW my name of amosmandy came from the combo of a couple of Collies I owned named Amos, and Mandy. As I stated, I have had ongoing problems with the safety switches. Even now, (which is why I posted) I have to pull the brake in and out sometimes several times to get it to start. It has been an...

I understand the safety aspect, I really do. But these switches have malfunctioned at least 6 times since I have owned the mower. Each time it had to be towed to a dealer with 3-4 weeks downtime. Believe me when I say, if I can defeat these things, I would be very cognoscente of the added need...

I really want to Bypass. I am studying the diagram but could really use some help. Ken

Thanks, I see that now, but to be honest I am not very skilled reading the diagram. Can you help me figure out as to how to bypass it? Ken

Thanks, but nothing as to how the safety switches are connected or as to how to bypass them. Ken

I have an older ZD 28 Zero Turn lawnmower for my 13 acres. It is great, that is when the safety switches do not malfunction. Please help me figure out how to Bypass them. Ken
