The creator shows the two alarm wires and demonstrates connecting them with a splice connector and pliers to close the circuit, no cutting involved. It also briefly mentions a separate PTO safety bypass, saved for a future video. Useful for owners specifically wanting this workaround explained quickly.
Posted by the Johnny's Tips and Tricks channel, an owner sharing DIY fixes from personal tractor use rather than professional or dealer guidance.
Connect the two alarm wires from the seat together using a splice connector, then squeeze it closed with pliers or channel locks. This closes the circuit so the tractor stays on when you lift off the seat.
No, the creator says he does not want to cut anything. He simply slides the two wires into a splice connector and squeezes it closed with pliers.
It only mentions that the PTO shutoff issue was also fixed, allowing reverse use without the engine shutting off, but says a full video on that will come later.
