Jerry Ohmer 1 #1 Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) How do you by-pass the neutral safety magnet part number (discontinued) 95-7683 Thank You This is a clip on magnet on the shifter. It’s on a Toro Wheel Horse Classic GT Model 73450 I ran a jumper wire across both posts the magnet aligns with. Tractor still will not start. Jumping these should enable it to start in gear ?

rmaynard 14,909 #2 Posted June 26, 2023 Is it a neutral safety switch? What tractor is it on? That number refers to what is commonly called a NMIR switch, no mow in reverse. Another government agency, OSHA, putting their nose where it doesn't belong. Just find out whether is closes or opens to allow you to operate the way you want. Then either cut the wire or splice the wires together. Just my 2 cents worth. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another government agency, OSHA, putting their nose where it doesn't belong The NMIR was put into effect after a few people backed over the short person that was following them around while mowing lawn. It is very important to protect people from their own negligence. Another example - The kill handle on a push mower that has to be held up in order for the mower to run. Implemented after two people of "higher intelligence" were holding a push mower in the air to trim the top of their hedge. Well... mower got away from them, injuries happened, law suits followed, and Ta Da! a new safety feature was mandated.

Jerry Ohmer 1 #4 Posted June 27, 2023 There is a separate key under the seat to engage the “Mow In Reverse” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,503 #5 Posted June 27, 2023 I don't know how the magnet is mounted. Years ago I added a backup lamp to an 8-speed for night time snow removal. Used a wired window or door alarm switch and magnet for a security system. Clamped the magnet to the shifter and mounted the switch so reverse activated a relay to power the light. You may be able to use such a magnet if you can find one. Magnet is in a sealed plastic container so it does not rust and has 2 mounting holes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
