Safety switch?

Recommended Posts

Hi, I have a 3415 hydro here and was wondering if there is some way I might be able to temporarly disable the safety switches to determine if that is why my machine will not crank with the key switch. I am having this problem becasue there is a safety switch for the front power take off when there is no lever for the front pto thus I think this is causing it not to crank, thank you for your help in advance,-BradW

Brad, While you know that it will not be a good long-term solution, you should be able to easily jumper out those safety switches. I believe that most of the safety interlocks on the earlier Simplicities work on a make connection when the lever is in the proper position. That means that you should be able to pull the plug off the switch and put a jumper in place to "make" the connection. This should do it. If I am wrong, somebody please step in here... Good luck, Clayton

If the tractor is not equipped with a front PTO, there should be a factory installed jumper in that interlock clip for you to see what we are talking about. Look under the tractor , right side (from seated position) somewher near the hole in the frame on that side, you will see a blue? and a purple wire and a black connector with a short wire jumping across the two contacts.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
