Safety switch on a BX2350

[don716]

My dad has a BX2350 and uses it to mow only and his yard is bumpy.He has trouble with the mower wanting to cut off alot when he hits a bump.I called the dealer to ask how to unhook the switch or bypass the switch but he would not tell me.Can someone pass along some help and tell me how to bypass this switch and maybe where it is exactly?Thanks. Donny

I got tired of mine kicking out because of sensitivity in one or more of the sensors (pto one ?)
So the main one on my BX2660 was found under the seat, by taking it apart , then finding sensor switch and putting a jumper wire so it stays closed. then put it all back together.
Use your own discretion on safety of doing this.

Another option is to do what's described in the link below. It's what I did and it makes a huge difference in how touchy the seat switch is.

I did the same thing. Have a steep ditch i mow and when leaning in seat would shut off. Lift seat. right rear of seat. un plug and make a jumper wire with 2 male spades. works well Just be carefull to make sure deck is off as will keep spinning when off the seat.

Did you trade your BX2350 to a BX2360? If so you fixed yours the same way I fixed mine. Traded out of the 50 series. Your profile says you have a 60 series. The 50 series has a problem with this that the 60 series doesn't have.

All I will say is the two switchs my Bx24 HAD........Now just like my old Bx22 (aka - ZERO)..

If you still have the 50 series, First I would check to see if you have the old style seat. The new style seat is easier to sit in and doesnt make you slide off even in bumpy areas making switch kick in.

Otherwise, just use electrical tape to hold the button down, just remember with seat switch bypassed- if the tractor hydro pedal is sticky and still moving, you are in danger for world of hurt.
