I sometimes have to turn my PTO on/off when blowing around my barn to keep the snow from just going onto the barn roof. The 2555 dash PTO button is a pain. I wanted to find something to add to my joystick, but was not happy with the options unless I wanted to spend big buckazoids for some type of custom knob. So I added a floor dimmer switch [ used a VW one ] to the plate in the center of the floorboard right to the right of the brake pedals. Put a super bright red LED on it to get my attention. And hacked into the brown wire near the firewall bulkhead connectors to interrupt the PTO. I wrapped everything back up after taking the firewall picture, so do not have a cow. Not for the faint at heart, but I did the same thing to my old ZTR to shut the blades off. In the third picture, the OEM PTO light is on and the PTO is energized. In the fourth, the OEM PTO light is still on, but now the foot switch is open shutting off the PTO and the LED is lit across the open foot switch. Now I have to finish assembling the dash and cleaning up my mess.....
