BX Seat Safety Switch

I'm going to try this too. I have short legs and if I try to turn around in the seat when backing up the switch shuts me down.

Get the storage bag from BXpanded Seat Back Storage Bag, fill it with clips, a few wrenches, and a big screwdriver, and the seat switch won't bother you any more!

I wish it was that easy on the BX2660. The switch is inside the seat cushion on my seat.
Here is an old thread on what I went through.

It's in the seat on the newer BX 1860 tractors also. It's the pits in cold weather, the seat gets a little wet then freezes and you can't move your tractor Good part is a 3" jumper wire fixes it right up

Thanks for the pix. I removed the extra plate from my friends' BX2350 and the wife took off with it, all happy.

Does the jumper complete or interrupt the circuit?

I removed the whole medieval seat and replaced it with a Grammer seat. Now I can get out of bed in the morning after a day of mowing.
Never hooked up that **** switch again.

I'm assuming the Grammer seat installation required some mods? I don't know of any that are strict bolt-ons, but if there is one, enlighten me!

Mr. Beagle,

It came with a steel plate. I used longer bolts and some spacers. Was not that hard. The seat latch had to be bent a bit, and It's harder to get at.
The seat is very nice. and is adjustable for your weight.
