Are you absolutely certain you want to disable the PTO safety? You want to be able to get off the mower with the blades turning?

I'm trying to restore the safety function on my Craftsman zero turn. I got off to pick something up one day and dang near stuck my foot under the deck.

The "no starting or getting off of the seat with the PTO on" is built into the PTO switch (and IMO, you would be foolish to try to disable it)?
Of the others, just get into a habit of flipping the parking brake on and flipping out the handles when you go to get off. You wont run over yourself that way (one of the guys on the lawencrew I was on a few years back almost ran himself over with our ZTR that had the parking brake switch disabled when he tried to park it facing downhill on a steep slope and then get off of the front (FYI, the hydros wont hold it from rolling away down a hill)) and you wont throw yourself off of the mower bumping the handles when you get on it.
IMO, its one of those things where if you cant figure out how to disable it on your own, you probbaly shouldn't disable it...

If that is the case, which safety functions are you trying to disable?
As for getting off with the PTO on, its not so much the purposeful dismounts that are the concern as the accidental dismounts

I would be happy to just bypass the brake..It has three red wires going to the switch..
