You can, yes, but it's not advisable. The manufacturers of ride-on lawn mowers incorporate safety devices into the starter circuit to minimise the risk of injury in the use of the equipment.

Make sure the switch is tightly mounted. Make sure the wires a securely plugged onto the back of the switch. Then make sure that the black wire that goes behind the starter is plugged in solid. If it is a push mower then it is something totally different.
