Bypass Door Safety Sensor and Repair Latch Pin

Somethings Wrong with the Skid steer
What happens here
The video addresses a common issue with skid steers: the cab door's safety sensor. Many operators remove the door for better visibility and access, but this deactivates the boom arm controls. To bypass this, a custom magnetic jumper is created using parts from an old sensor, which fools the machine into thinking the door is closed. This allows the boom arms to function even when the door is removed. A bolt and washers are then used as an improvised cotter pin to secure the bucket's hydraulic cylinder, replacing a missing or damaged factory pin. This quick fix ensures the bucket's functionality.
Goal: Modify the door safety sensor and repair the bucket latch pin for full machine functionality.
