  • / blades and/or blade clutch ctting off and on while cutting
I have an 06 bobcat fastcat 36" zero turn commercial 17hp kawasaki mower. The blades shut off and on intermitantly by themselves while I'm cutting the grass. My ? is there a relay going bad or something like that, it must be something electrical I would think. Can anyone shed any light on this subject also mower has only 200hrs on it Thanks.

WELCOME to LMF...
Check the wiring first... Pay particular attention to the connections At the clutch, especially the ground.
If you have not found the problem after checking wiring, then start checking switches, PTO switch and all the interlock switching....

Thanks KennyV, that suggestion put me on the rite track. We had a ground wire going to the blades clutch that was broken at a place where someone had broken a wire before and had put a tie strap on so tite that it basically pinched the wire inside in half through time, causing it to connect and disconnect, hence the reason for the blades working intermittantly. Were in the green now!!
