B3300 Shuts Off When I go Forward/Reverse

I thought there was a sensor behind the rear tire for the forward/reverse pedal too? I have two switches on my seat, one for the operator weight and then another that gets pushed if you tip the seat up which I have no idea its purpose..? If I take the two wires that go to the switch and just connect them, will that basically by-pass the switch and keep it engaged all the time?

I believe the one when the seat is tipped up allows the tractor to run while you use the PTO to run a chipper for example.

And this switch caused your B3300 to stop running when you would move forward?

On my BX the switch was anchored with two screws into a Tinnerman type clip. It kept coming loose so I fashioned a piece of flat bar with two tapped holes for hardened hex key NF bolts. End of problem. Maybe look for a similar situation.

And was your switch located in the same place as in that video?

The BX is arranged different. the switch is behind the RR Tire. The clip is back behind other stuff, almost impossible to get to. I'll see if I can resurrect my old post on that subject.

I just wanted to update this in case another person came looking to this thread. The seat switch did turn out to be the issue. I ordered a new one for $6 and the issue has not reappeared after 10 hours on the machine.
