The handles have a lever on each side that suppresses the safety switch that stops the blades while backing up.
If you look on the left side where the handle is bolted on you will see a small flat lever on the back. If you place your hand under the black plastic side cover you can feel the button that the lever pushes in. All I did was put a vise grip pliers on the flat lever and bend it up a little. You only need to do one side. Took a minute or two at tops to do. I unplugged the switches first, but then the PTO would not turn the blades on. So I just bent the lever up.

I have a 2003 Cub Cadet 1525. This model is designed to shut off the cutting deck when the tractor is put into reverse. Not sure what model you have but my guess is that it's just a safety precation like the Cub.
Use a screwdriver, pliers or wire and touch both posts at the same time
bad key switch!
pto switch energizes a vacuum solenoid which puts pressure on the pto belts
2 fuses. Located to the left of the headlight switch. Down by where you turn the key.
Make sure that the engine is running at full speed, or the blades may choke the engine down. Also check the blades (with the engine stopped) to see if something is causing them not to rotate. The Cub may also have safety switches, if one goes bad then the motor could die as a safety feature( it thinks you fell off, the parking brake isn't engaged, etc..) Different Cubs have different safety switch configurations.
No; he or she is a cadet.
