Gt 5000 Seat Safety Switch

[CaseyW]

Being an agnostic it wouldn't do you any good for me to pray for you when you use the seat in your car. And so far I haven't had anyone praying for me when I use my power equipment. Thanks for the thought, but I have used various pieces of heavy equipment including farm tractors, end loaders, bush hogs and bat wing mowers since before I was 10. None of those extremely powerful machines ever claimed a limb or my life, and none had seat cut off switches. One ignition switch key did the shutdown when you got done with the job. I suppose I may have just had a 60 year stretch of good luck. Or perhaps a lot of vigilance and careful use accounts for me not needing those seat switch lawyers to sue the equipment manufactures for my inability to operate a machine carefully. I didn't mean to stir up a hornets nest here, but I hope my picture and description of how to disable the seat switch has benefited some conscientious and careful Husky and Craftsman owners. It sure made my life easier and more pleasant.

Don't feel bad Sumpter; I just bit my tongue and prayed for the safety of anyone that sits in that seat.

Thanks! I have to agree. Sometimes one step forward is three steps backwards. I work in the construction industry, and some of the safety stuff we have to do, well is just rediculous and sometimes is more dangerous then the alternative. When my son is old enough, then I will put the safety features back on. Thanks again.
