I have a different brand riding mower but this should work.
Instead of taping or joining the wires, put a toggle switch in the line so you can choose to leave the safety switch in line or not.
The switch is there for your safety if you fall off of the mower, it will stop - instead of running over you - nasty if blades are running then.)

on all lawn mower s most switches are contact switches on the seat try removing the wires and joining them together they are located under the seat this will complete the electrical path as if the seat was in position if this does not work try removing the wires and using electrical tape .tape the ends of the wires to break the path of current one or the other should work you will cause no damage which way you try first
