[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 5281, member: 307"] Brian Actually you can't just short the wires together, to the best of my knowledge. The sensor somehow works by moving a magnet on one 1/2 into close proximity of the sensor on the other half. Bobcat had some trouble with these, mostly do to people getting debris behind tthe seat and impeading the travel of the seat down. They now make a kit that eliminates the seat sensor and ads a green “press to operate” button on the dash. Its @ 200 to 250 though. What I'd recommend in removing the sensor finding which way the magnet has to be positioned to turn the “seat” light on on your “bics” controller on the rh side beside the seat. Then use something like shoo goo to glue it in that postion. then tie it up out of the way. So long as the second sensor works on the seat bar you will still have all the safety features, when you lift the bar up., and it will save you from having to press a button every time you turn the key off or lift the seat bar. Which I never really understood how the extra step of pushing the button to get the loader to work, made things safer Personally I've had no trouble with this one as long as you keep your pop cans , gloves, gravel etc out of the operators station. And your seat bolts stay tight. Some seats you can simply slide right out the front of the track just by releasing the lever that slide the seat fore and aft. If that won't then you will have to try and hold the bolt head inside the seat track somehow. The 3 other seat bolts you could just grind off if necessary, but not on the sensor one. Unfortunately, the foam that leeps the loader quiet, makes it bad for rust in this area. Ken [/QUOTE]
