Thank you for this highly useful and simply explained video. This is an extremely well explained diagnosis of a very common problem. This video saved me alot of money, and alot of down time. I just really need to mow the lawn. Thank you for your help.

[GlennaKelley-cqoy]

I have looked on many sites for info on brake safety switches your site has been the only info that has been (VERY) helpful thank tou

[DigItGarden]

Thanks for this, I am trying to rebuild an older model for our community garden. This is a real help. I never knew anything about ride on mowers before I purchased it. As they say though, if you want to learn about how something works, buy a busted one.

[ksard]

Thank you! A thousand times thank you. This video clearly explained what to look for and how to check the switches. Thanks to you I am back in business

Have these problems with my Husqvarna GTH 2654 after 15 years and a new carb rebuild, it runs better than new…UNTIL 3 weeks ago. Getting old enough where bending around the machine is a PITA. Going for the last two safety switches this week. If not, here goes $3000 on a new mower. Good video

[anthonyvalentine]

Thanks once again for the illustrations on micro switches really very helpful tips on how to eliminate problems to keep machine from turning over your the man with the plan

[stoner]

you have done a fine job explaining all this !! This helped me out, even though i had gone through a small gas engine course, this electrical section I needed help in thanks!!

[chrisrojas]

Thanks man. Helped me get my mower back running. Now if only I could figure out how to fix the damn lights

[albertsroofing]

Thanks Dude, for video of troubleshooting safety switch on my lawn tractor 🚜

[renatogoncalves]

Very good video. Thank you for your time. I replaced my switch with a new one and the new one didnt work. But if I by pass it the fan blade works fine. Could it be wires crossed?

[robstone]

I like your videos and have learned from them. Also subscribed to your channel. I appreciate the fine camera work, the elimination of background noise and for being an articulate speaker.

[haroldhibner]

Great easily understandable info that will benefit all who watch!!!!THANKS and keep them coming. Perhaps some outboard motor videos next.

[geraldciavola]

Well explained!! Thanks for your demonstration.

This was very good and informative. We need the information provided quickly and efficiently as you have done. It's irritating to cull out "entertainment" and superfluous stuff in order to get to the needed content. Question: Where would you test the circuit in order to initially screen all the potential problems(brake, seat, deck, fuse, etc.) at one time?

Hey eliminator,
I'm working on a friend's riding mower. No click, no start.
Turned over when I jumped the solenoid. Changed solenoid. No click, no start. Tested the ignition switch, fine. Tested all the safety switches, fine. Began to loss my mind.
Just wanted to at least get the oil warmed up to get it changed, since that's all I was suppose to be doing originally, so I went back to jumping the solenoid (after reinstalling the old one). Cracked great, no start. Attempted to check for spark, didn't think I had one so I replaced the coil. After replacement of the coil, I used starter fluid and jumped solenoid. I fired up immediately but as soon as i released the jump screwdriver it dies. Mind lost by now! I've tested the hot from battery to solenoid that's fine. When I checked voltage at solenoid on the small terminal when turning the key, there was nothing. I attempted to check continuity from red spot on ignition wiring harness plug to the same(pretty sure the same) wire on the solenoid but got nothing. Ready to run the machine over with a monster truck now. Can you please direct me wtf to do at this point. PLEASE!

[DirtyBuckle]

Direct, to the point and informative. Great job. I'm subscribing!!!

[joshlaney]

Thanks for the video. This is exactly what I needed to see.

[micmacpole]

I have a 2017 Troy Built Bronco where the previous owner cut the safety switch plug to where there are now 4 loose wires with female connectors. Three are single wires and one has 2 wires. How can I determine which 2 wires to jump with the parking brake on to engage the starter and turn the motor over? I am assuming the parking brake safety switch was the original problem and now I have no plug to figure out the original configuration. Your videos are very helpful and so I liked them and became a subscriber.

[nofascists]

Usefully information. However, I was looking to test the wires under the seat and of at least three safety switches on most tractors you only mostly focused on the brake switch.

Nice short video with a good jumper wire tip, thanks.
