Mower blades stops in reverse

[john2189]

If I would want to bypass this feature on a
z force , how would I do it? I know it has a place on the key switch and then bush the yellow triangle, but most of the time I forget to do that. It has to be hard on the electric clutch

I had this problem with my son's John Deere. Try to get an electrical schematic of the Z Force to find where "Reverse" interrupts the circuit to the blades. Without a schematic, try to see the switch is that "opens" up the circuit to the blades, when the tractor goes in "Reverse" mode.

Put a "Jumper" wire across the switch and the blades will not stop when you put the tractor in Reverse.

My John Deere X485 has a two position PTO pull switch. First stop shuts the blade off when going in reverse. Second stop does not.

Usually you can just put a jumper between the two contacts on the button (I think you said it's a yellow triangle) and that will bypass the switch.
