Also check the wire for bad spots that could be grounding out

and that's what it was. there were 2 wires "one green and one yellow".....that were near the directional pedal pivots. the yellow one was laying loose, with a wire cap and tape on it. the green one i assume was a ground. looked very rusty/corroded. took apart, wire brushed everything up, put new end on wire.

now, blade engages anytime, and doesn't disengage when i reverse.

thanks for all the help.

That switch #24 is down at the base of the shifter. It is similar to my old 50" cut Huskee Garden tractor.
