Backup safety switch

[davebic]

I have a LA165 and would like a simple way to bypass the PIA mower backup safety switch. How does JD expect someone to drink a beverage and drive the mower at the same time? There are no hands left for backing up while mowing........

My thread on the matter for an X475 is here. You will need to do the same thing but only you can figure out which wires are the ones you need to jumper.

Yeah, I just jumpered a wire on my LA175. The dealership said they couldn't do it for me do to liability reasons, but was kind enough to show me how to do it myself.
