I, this week purchased a 2014 Troy Bilt Horse XP (46") Battery in under the drivers seat now not in the engine compartment. I wish to disconnect or by pass the disengagement of rear blades so That I may mow in both forward and reverse. Can some one with knowledge help?
It wouls be greatly appreciated.

OK, i do my best not to be Kurt ( curt ).

Have you read the " mowing in reverse " section of your owner / operator manual ?

Why are you mowing in reverse?

I do not think he is really mowing in reverse. But some times you need to back up. It's a pain in the butt when you have to push a button or shut the blades off.

TB riding mowers have a switch that tells the mower to turn off if placed in reverse while the PTO is turned on. Its not like a JD or others where the blades stop but the mower keeps running.

I feel your pain but its that switch is there for a reason and that is SAFETY. I know how to disconnect it but I won't and neither should you.
