I would remove the PTO switch and have a Deere dealer test it. Also on the 500 series the PTO operates through the ignition control module which is under the dash, you can see it when you raise the hood. It is black and about 2" wide x 3" long and 1" thick.
you can look at the manuel that came with the mower or if you did not get one, go to the JD mower web site and look up you model and download the needed documentation. If that is not possible contact the local JD mower dealer and get a copy of the mower deck docs and look at the instructions for belt replacement.
this model uses a series of groves cut into mower body to maintain the transmission gear/direction , it's held into groves by a spring just under the cover , if this is broken a replacement can be gotten from sears (part# 164X39) to replace it , it should take at least five pounds of force to move shift lever out of grove to next gear , if not then your shift spring is loose or broken
You haven't specified the model number, but pretty much all riding mowers use a plunger-type electrical switch to engage the mower. If it's stuck in the 'lifted' position (mower engaged) then it has broken internally. You must replace it. In doing that, the wires need to be placed back on the correct terminals, so take a picture of the wires (showing their colors) before you disconnect them from the switch. Take the broken switch to a lawnmower shop to find a replacement. Shouldn't be more than $10 - $20. Good luck! Please rate my solution if you found it helpful.
there are rebuild kits for some but not all, check your local jd dealer, my family ownd a jd dealer until last year jd stuff aint cheap. personally id type hydraulic cylinders into google and buy a replacement
Recently had this problem after replacing transmission on JS63. The drive spurs are directional on the axle and must be placed properly or the mower will not freely pull backwards or one or both wheels will drag on turns. It took several attempts to get this right before I solved the problem. Now the mower moves in all directions like butter. Found this forum thread after the fact that would have been very helpful in solving this issue. Check: https://www.mytractorforum.com/155-walk-behind-mowers/237253-jd-js63-repair-manual.html
