Bad boy shuts off when PTO engages

Sounds like the clutch is fried

This sounds like the PTO clutch coil is shorted OR the wiring at the coil is shorted to ground... Do you have an ohm meter?

I can borrow an ohm meter, can you provide some quick instruction or is there a youtube video of it, I ll search in the meantime. Also, if the clutch is fried I guess where in for another 2-300$ based on what some internet searches have shown up??

quick Youtube search revealed the answer to how to test the clutch.

Ok

Testing the switch of the clutch revealed ohms of 2.2-2.5. The harness that plugs into the clutch wouldn't read any ohms. Not sure if that matters. Thanks

Sounds like a safety switch to me.

Thanks for all the help. Ended being the pto engage switch. Took a little longer to receive it related to the ice storm last week. Runs great and performs well

Thanks again
