When i lift up on the RIO switch and touch the reverse pedal, the mower deck turns off. I made sure there is continuity through the switch when lifted up. Power is there until i touch the pedal...is the board bad?
 
Neighbor has a x320 JD, deck shuts off whenever you put it in reverse. On some mowers there was a key position so that didn't happen butt not on this one. Not sure if yours is the same. safety feature
 
What do you mean by RIO? I have a first generation 345 and no problems mowing in reverse. Only safety switch on mine is under the seat, which I quickly by passed years ago with a small vise clamp.

I have a LA115 rideere with the RIO switch like you mentioned. On mine you have to hold the switch down while stepping on the go pedal, once it starts moving in reverse you can let off the switch and the mower deck will stay running.
 
It seems some of you do not understand,
I've had this tractor for years, when you
go reverse and lift the switch the mower
deck with wood stay on. Now as you lift
the switch it still dies something's
changed, my guess is the board is bad.

The switch that turns on the mower deck, to go backwards and keep cutting you need to lift up on that switch. Mine now turns off, even when lifting up on the switch.
