I am looking for information on the safety system. I was able to
disconnect the seat so it does not know if I am on it, however when I
go in reverse the PTO shuts off. This impacts the performance of my
mowing and I would prefer to defeat this. I know if voids warranty
and some would consider it a danger. The fact is the high end zero
turns can go in reverse without shutting the PTO off.

3 safety switches.
1 involving the break
1 involving the seat
1 involving backing up & PTO shutting off.

1 under seat - simply disconnected and it no longer knows that I am
not sitting on the seat. That one was easy.
2 setting the break - took the deck off and looked behind where the
break is. A push button switch sensor is there but has many wires.
Functionality: break must be set to start, break must be unset to
engage PTO
3. This is the one I am most concerned about. I have not found a
sensor for yet. When mowing I like to move in reverse instead of
turning sharp because it is harder on my lawn. The PTO shuts off when
turning in reverse.

1 is figured out..
2 seems a little complex but not terribly important
3 impacts my lawn as zero turning digs the lawn up. Backing up a
short bit is much better. If I could keep the PTO engaged I would
back up. I feel it is hard on the unit if It shuts off when I am
mowing.

please help with # 3 if you can.

Lame useless link. The closest this comes is discussing PTOs that run in
the reverse direction. I followed this useless link as I was interested
in these things.

I tried 'PTO reverse switch cub cadet rzt50' and did not get anything
either.

This is why he is asking here.

Sorry - no specifics - but instead of treating each safety switch
individually can't you just disconnect the wire they feed to at the back of
the ignition switch and put a jumper wire in there in place of ?

The link mentions many different types of PTO overrides. I don't know which
type of system this tractor/mower uses. How to override depends on the
type. This is clued by the individual patent. Many patents were provided.
Many had specifics such as I mentioned.
