2.22. The reverse switch on the series 6000 and 7000 
tractors operates in the same manner to control 
the PTO clutch. See Figure 2.22.
• The reverse switch on Series 6000 and Series 
7000 domestic compact tractors is located on 
the right side frame channel, just ahead of the 
pedal linkage.
• The second set of contacts in the switch is nor-
mally open.
• When the plunger is depressed (in reverse), the 
contacts close, enabling power to pass form the 
red wire with black trace (power) to the white 
wire that feeds power to the back-up lights.
2.23. The brake switch for the Series 5000 compact 
tractor is located on the left hand side frame 
channel, just in front of the pedal linkage, with 
the plunger vertical (up). See Figure 2.23.

2.24. The brake switch on the Series 5000 tractor con-
tains three sets of contacts.  See Figure 2.24.
• All three sets are normally open: when the brake 
is not applied, the plunger is up, and none of the 
circuits connected to the switch have continuity 
through the switch.   
2.25. Depressing the plunger (brake applied) closes 
all three sets of contacts. See Figure 2.25.
• With the plunger depressed, each pair of spade 
terminals that are adjacent to one another (flat 
side to flat side) will have continuity.
