mowing in reverse

[KevPH]

JD X300 Reverse PTO override switch operational modification:

(1) Open hood
(2) Unplug wiring connector/PTO-RIP switch {under dash}
(3) Examine closely and locate: Gray 370B and Green 301 wires.
(4) Using about 2" insulated wire,you provide, remove 3/16" insulation from both ends.
(5) Insert 2" jumper wire to bottom of wire connector. Insert jump: 370B Gray to 301 Green.
DO NOT CUT ANY HARNESS WIRING. May void JD warranty!!!

I did not solder my connections. Jumper easily removed when future JD warranty service work is needed.

(6) Zip-tie{you supply} jumper wire securely to wiring harness.
(7) Reconnect wire harness to PTO-RIP switch and close hood.
DONE!!!
Happy reverse mowing!!!

I took a piece a wood, trimmed it on the grinder till it fits under the pull up switch/blade engagement switch, works good, a 2 minute job.
No wires to fiddle with under the dash.:thumbsup:

I did my 355D and X748 with jumper wires. My 355D went in for warranty service and I told the service manager I had bypassed RIO and the seat and asked if I should restrore it. He said "no problem, we don't care if you bypassed them". They are a big Ag dealer.

When I traded the 355D on the 748 I did restore their function.
