Has anyone bypassed the interlock module on an Ariens GT ?

If so, I'd like to hear about it. So far on mine it runs & I have lights. Working on the pto now. It's a 931014, 10hp gear drive. Maybe 1979 vintage.

it's a silly way(making an expensive transistorized, module instead of using switches or relays) for them to try to make extra money, post the wiring diagram..btw, it should be replaced by a sensible relay or switch system, since it's a safety feature, and should not be totally disabled..

Yep, mine fried and I had to get a job done. I agree that bypassing safety switches is not a good idea.

I simply pulled the edge connector to the interlock module off and tied the red wire
(+12V) black wire (+12V to ignition switch) and yellow wire that feeds the PTO switches together. Started and ran with both PTOs functioning.

Hope this helps!
