I found it. Took the floor cover and middle plastic cover with the screws out. Its on the bottom left of the opening after you get the plastic cover off. A stick knocked one the the wires off bush hogging.

You don't need it but some kid down the line might try something unwise and that switch might just prevent something bad happening.

Lawyers: Childproofing the world since 1946.
IMHO: No, the dangerous world does not need to be childproofed. Children should be taught about the dangerous world.
Funny, I was just seeing an internet post where someone found a rattlesnake under their car hood. Somebody says "Kill it! Good snake=dead snake!". They immediately get flamed by the majority who says "It's a protected species! (in NY)", "All creatures have a role in the ecosystem!",etc..
I'm sure most of those snake lovers, when it comes to other aspects of their life are: "You must keep all safety interlocks, guards, shields and warning labels in place. THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!"

Being gear drive. owner may want neutral switch to protect himself someday from running over himself if he's standing in front of rear tire and starting the engine or jumping the solenoid. But if it was a hydrostatic...

p.s.: Hope it's okay I went on this tangent, seeing how OP fixed his problem.

As was stated it the last post..Hydrostatic and a Neutral safety.... well... it's about as useless as it gets.

Fair enough. I've run construction sites for 37 years. There have been several accidents involving carpenters during that time. Worker's comp has a accident report form that I have to fill out. In each case I have had to answer no to the question were all guards in place at the time of the accident. In each case the guards would have prevented the accident. Safeties and guards are silly until you are in the waiting room of the surgical center waiting to find out if they saved the hand. The only thing worse is what can happen in farm accidents. This isn't a political issue nor should it be made out to be. People get distracted and use poor judgement. I recovered from my severe burns at age 20 and they reattached my finger at age 24. Both incidents were caused by a momentary lapse in judgement. I am irritated by the safety switch on my tractor. I am more irritated by the safety switch on my zero turn mower. I could easily just bend that one to maintain contact. I won't.

...I ordered a new one.. it will be replaced later this week. I'm not sure I could live with myself if someone was injured or worse because I removed a 40.00 part.
