Dixie Chopper Mower Deck

[dkphillips]

While mowing today I shut off my mower deck to cross my driveway like I always do but when I got to my other yard that I was about to mow the mower deck would not engage. Now I am not sure if it is the PTO switch or the electric clutch or something else. Any help in diagnosing this problem would be very much appreciated. The funny part of all of this is that I live just 2.5 miles East of the Dixie Chopper manufacturing plant located in Fillmore, Indiana. And I know lots of people who work at this location but would rather not bother them on a weekend with my problems.

Check wire harness at PTO clutch & see if it is unplugged or not fully plugged in. For Safety remove key from ignition & make sure brake is set.
