Yes, the Cub Cadet XT1-LT42 can cut grass while going in reverse if the Reverse Caution Mode is activated by pressing the reverse push button. The red indicator light on the ignition module must be ON to allow reverse mowing.

A Cub Cadet XT1-LT42 engine stalling when trying to move forward after changing the belt could be caused by a faulty safety switch, such as the seat switch, brake switch, or interlock switch. If these switches are not working correctly or are not properly connected, the engine may shut off when the blades are engaged or the mower is moved. Another possible cause is an issue with the PTO (Power Take-Off) switch or its wiring, which can trigger the safety system to stop the engine.

Engine stops when PTO blade controller engGed

The engine of the Cub Cadet XT1-LT42 may stop when the PTO blade controller is engaged due to several possible reasons:
1. Safety Interlock System – If a required safety condition is not met (such as the operator not being seated or the parking brake not being properly set), the safety interlock system may shut down the engine. 2. Faulty PTO Switch or Wiring – If the PTO switch or its wiring is damaged or malfunctioning, it may cause the engine to stall when engaged. 3. Charging System Issues – If the voltage exceeds 16.0 volts, the charging system might need inspection, as electrical issues can affect PTO operation. 4. Blade or Deck Obstruction – If the mower blades are stuck due to debris or mechanical failure, engaging the PTO could strain the engine, causing it to stall. 5. Belt or Clutch Problems – A worn or improperly engaged belt or clutch could prevent the blades from turning properly, leading to engine shutdown.
Checking these components can help diagnose and resolve the issue.

I removed the deck for repair and have a spare spring now that I've reassembled it. It has round ends and the coil is about 80mm long. Can anyone help in finding where it's supposed to be?
