Hello,

I have a new JD LT 125 riding lawn mower. I am doing quite a bit of
dirt moving with my wagon around the yard and would like to let the
machine idle while I shovel dirt on/off. It has the shut off hooked to
the seat (whenever you get off the machine, it dies). Is there a way I
could bypass that shut offf so it would idle?

thanks for any help.

Hi..

If you're sure that there are no youngsters around, you
might try one of those short bungee cords that come with a
hook on each end to tie the seat down with.

Take care.

On my riding mower, it takes a certain amount of weight to compress a switch
inside the seat...

A 25 lb bag of shot might do the trick.
