cub LT 2180
I'm new to the site and hope someone can help.
I've been searching for a wiring diagram for the LT 2180 in order to find the reverse switch location and get a visual on it.
the new units have a new position on the ignition switch that bypasses this switch.
I have looked all over the tractor and found nothing attached to any pedal or linkage that remotely resembles a switch.

CAN ANYONE HELP?

I "believe" if you take off the mower and look under the tractor, follow the linkage for the reverse pedal, there's a little stub plug that disconnects the PTO.....at least that's how I "heard" where it is.....;)
I also "heard" that if you put a small wedge of wood to hold it up/in it will allow you to mow in reverse.

the LT 2180 is a shaft drive hydrolic unit. I just want to make sure exactly where it is
Is it on the tranny?

I use this tractor for snow removal the constant on and off of the pto tears up the belts extremely quickly .If the impeller gets jammed by heavy crusted snow because it is not spinning the belt is destroyed ($40 bucks a pop) just needless

this is what I need the switch disabled for!

I do not know your model but here is an idea. If you already have a push button reverse kill switch why not add a manual toggle switch beside it and use it that way for your winter work. Come summer you can reach behind the cover and remove the jumper to protect younger drivers.

sounds great, but I don't know exactly where the switch is located. easy enough to break either line to disable it.
