2022 JD 3039 R Seat Switch

[tkcomer]

I'd like to bypass the seat switch on my 3039 R. If I hear a noise, I like to get off the tractor and listen to the equipment as it's running. Can't do that now. As it looks to be a simple 2 wire setup, I assume a simple jumper will do the trick. But the pins inside the connector are really small and I don't want to cut wires on a tractor under warranty. Any idea what to use to jumper it or is there a connector I can buy and make a jumper that I can plug into the factory harness? Thanks for any replies.

My old JD870 with a seat switch lets me run my PTO branch chipper without me sitting in the seat. Owners manual has instructions on the seat switch.

Mine's not like that. The owners manual says it you raise up out of the seat, the PTO should shut off. If mid PTO is running and you raise up out of the seat, engine will shut off.

Would help if you post a pic of the connector, connected and un-connected.

On mine, just made a jumper out of a short length of #14 insulated electrical wire. Hammered the copper flat to slip into the female ends of the connector.

that sucks. myd old 870 you pulled the seat switch up to disable it. but switch had 3 wires. i guess they did away with that feature.

Stick the ends of a paper clip in there and see if it accomplishes what you want. If so, wrap it in electrical tape.

I've been trying to find the part number for the harness that goes from the tractor side to the seat switch. That short piece shouldn't cost much but so far I haven't found it.

You may have to purchase new seat switch. Sometimes finding harness parts is impossible.
