Can you unplug the PTO wires, and the blades still stay engaged? If so, it likely has a seized-up/ failed PTO bearing.

Hello G.,
It is not very common, but I have seen this happen especially where high humidity is a factor.
Also, on rare occasion I have also remove an electric PTO clutch and it basically fell apart in my hands.

So I found out I had a stuck bearing I fixed that now I cant get the blades to engage I checked the fuses what should I look for now?

Hello L.,
If you have a multimeter, Ohm the 2-pins going to the clutch with it disconnected from the chassis harness.
If you don't get a resistance reading, the magnet windings are likely burnt.
Is the air gap adjustable on that clutch design?

I dont believe the gaps adjustable I tried the wires going to the clutch and theres nothing there so I guess im going to trace wires or change the control module
