It looks like the switch is in series with the seat switch, so when open 
it stops all power, IOW the f/r relay doesn't click. So I don't think that 
is it, unless I am missing something

If it was working prior to doing brake work I would check the brake safety 
micro-switch.  Sounds like it is "on", meaning that the tractor will not 
drive.
 
Just my thought.

So i replaced the fwd/rev relay and it ran just fine, plenty of battery, no
worries, just no brakes.

fixed the brakes [note, stupid placement of caliper, 1/2 inch different 
and it
would be a 2 minute job] 

Now she no go. Fwd rev relay clicks back and forth, but no power drain. PTO
lights lift all work

Have manuals but haven't deciphered the troubleshooting diagrams. Part of
the problem is lack of labeling on the machine 

jumped out the brake and seat switch to test. no dice

hints welcome................
