    Bogus 'safety' feature, riding mower
    Riding mower shuts off if put in reverse w/ blade engaged. How do I disconnect this unnecessary, annoying, time-consuming 'feature'?

    No doubt the fearure is there because the mfr. Has been sued for damages resulting from not having it. It would be foolish on our part, as well as considered reckless endangerment, to tell you how to bypass it. You're not taking us down with you, buddy! Also I guess the old evolutionary argument, survival of the fittest would work.

    I absolutely agree with wildandblue. I simply will not tell you, or anyone else how to bypass a safety switch, or feature. Sorry.
