Default im a newby...safety switches

Im a newbie here...I have a 3235 and was very annoyed by not being able to mow in reverse without all the hoopla of re-engaging my switch after the reverse safety cut off. Also, being a light-weight, when I would go down a hill the seat switch would loose contact and the engine would start to loose connection, backfire, etc. I have been looking into all the info here provided by you guys, very much valuable information and I have learned alot, but, is it against the forum rules to post a hack for the seat switch and reverse switch? I have one where you can enable or disable both. Is that against the rules to post?

Yes, we can't tell you how to bypass safety switches. Just watch your local news and see how many scumbag attorneys want to sue anybody for anything. It is so bad here in GA that everybody's car insurance is going way up because of them.

Best thing you can do is get a wiring diagram and test those switches to make sure they are working properly.

A switch has a contact that is either open or closed
Generally, they are designed to fail in a safe manner, for example, if your foot needs to be on the clutch when you start the engine, if that switch fails, it will fail in a manner that behaves like your foot is not on the clutch
Once you figure that out, it is easy to test.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
