A device for preventing reverse mowing of a Snapper, rear engine rider lawnmower having an ABS system, by halting rotation of the mower blade when the gear shift lever of the mower is shifted from the forward into the reverse driving position. The reverse mowing prevention device is designed to be mounted on riding mowers having a blade engagement lever for selectively engaging a mower blade in driving configuration and a pivoting lever retaining member for selectively retaining the blade engagement lever in the blade-driving configuration, typically by depression of a blade engagement foot pedal. In a first embodiment the reverse mowing prevention device is characterized by a blade release rod for connecting the lever retaining member to the shift linkage of the mower transmission system. As the gear shift lever is shifted from the forward to the reverse driving position, as desired, the blade release rod disengages the pivoting lever retaining member from the blade engagement lever, which automatically shifts to a blade-disengaging position and halts rotation of the mower blade. In another embodiment the blade release rod is capable of selectively engaging and removing the lever retaining member from the blade engagement lever, or disengaging the lever retaining member as the gear shift lever is shifted into reverse, to permit reverse mowing as desired.
