Protecting against theft

[1Lawman]

What can I do that would be easy and within reason, to my 5093E that would make it more difficult to steal?

Lock it in a barn, take out the key, install a hidden battery switch.

leave pto on, remove starter fuse, install battery quick disconnect or for real protection remove one of the wheels

Turn fuel valve to OFF

You'll never stop pros!
But for joy riders possibly the easiest is to cut the starter relay wire and install a hidden switch in that line.
Another would be hidden switch in your seat safety switch wire. (or even pulling one of the wires off of seat switch)

My tractor safety switch was on the H-N-L selector. The selector switch being defective the wires were linked together to start so my hidden safety is to simply disconnect the mated connectors.

How can I find my starter fuse?

 

[1Lawman]

Turn fuel valve to OFF

How long would it run with fuel valve turned off?

 

[Tx Jim]

How long would it run with fuel valve turned off?

I'll guess 2-3 minutes at the most. You could also remove a frt tire & wheel and take it with you.

 

[PILOON]

How long would it run with fuel valve turned off?

About 20 ft!

fuse should be marked in fuse box if not keep removing one till it won't crank
