I have an RZT50, that I bought in the 2004-2005 range. So far, I have replaced 2 PTO clutches, and one switch. Now, I seem to be having issues with the Reverse cutout switch.

I replaced the clutch yesterday, fired it up, and it mowed until I had to use reverse, then no more blade operation, and I no longer had the voltage to the clutch. I noticed before I replaced the clutch, that it acted intermittent after going in reverse. Since the clutch still will not operate with the application of voltage to the lead, I replaced the clutch. Now, I am suspecting an additional issue.

Can someone tell me WHERE the reverse cutout switch is located, and how I disable it? I have always disliked that particular feature anyway. Also, according to my owner's manual, mine is not working right anyway, as only the right lever cuts the pto out.

try a new battery. the PTO runs off the battery,not the charging system. as far the reverse cutout switch, take the model # under the seat to your dealer. he can tell you where it is. that model # works wonders when you need parts and info.also, some of the clutches are adjustable. found out today that the reverse mowing has to be done with the key switch in the safe mode. with key in the yellow zone and the little yield button pushed on to light the little orange light,it will mow in reverse as long as the light is on. hope this helps.
