Apart from the method mentioned above, there is another easy way to disable the reverse safety switch. You can easily mow in reverse without having to disengage the blades all the time. Step-1: Find the Safety Switches. As for Craftsman mowers, there are two main safety switches. There is one called a seat switch beneath the mower's seat.. First make sure you don't have a newer Craftsman with a reverse operation switch that allows you to mow in reverse. This may be simply putting the key in the switch in the ROS position. Or try watching this video. But for heaven's sake, if you do this, be very careful what you back over!

I have found a relatively easy fix to the pto switch shutting down the mower deck when going in reverse. Take a wooden spring loaded cloths pin, pull all the way up on the pto Switch as if you were backing up, slide the cloths pin in under the switch. This has worked perfectly on my x 500. It also works with the snow blower as well.. This video shows how to override the reverse safety PTO switch found on a lot of hours like cub cadet, MTD, John Deere, simplicity, Husqvarna, Huskee, Yard M.
