How to Get My LT2000 Mower in Reverse

Your Craftsman LT2000 has a built-in "Reverse Operation System" that requires more than simply changing a gear lever to allow you to drive in reverse. Unless you absolutely must, you should not mow in reverse. However, for those instances when it is necessary, Craftsman has aided you with its ROS. Once you complete the simple operation the first time, you should not have any problems doing it in the future.
