> i dont care to remember how many times the mech was just 20' away from the tractor on the dirt road, and the tractor was in mud where he couldnt service it. push the starter, limp it to the road by just turning it over and the tractor got fixed.

So it happened once. That's what they make log chains for. If it's really necessary to bypass the safety, it's easy enough to rig up a temporary jumper rather than permanently defeat the interlock.

I [i:654c4848f0]really[/i:654c4848f0] don't care to remember how many times I've heard of someone killed or maimed, or of property damage, caused by a tractor that was started in gear.

I've done it too on rare occasions.

Yet another reason to convert to a 12V starter after converting to a 12V electrical system.
