GT3000 mower deck will not engage blades electronically

[laserman]

I have a GT3000 Craftsman riding mower that when the switch is pulled out to engage the clutch, nothing happens. The mower continues to run but the blades do not engage. Anyone have a reference electrical diagram I can snag so I can trace this out and find out where my signal is being lost to engage the clutch?

Need the real model number off the serial number tag but this schematic should be very close.
917.274961

Thanks, Star Tech. On a whim, sent from work. I'll confirm the legitimate part number when I get home but thanks again.

The model number is 917.274980. I'll take a stab at it tomorrow with the information you provided.

Follow-up...

Ended up being the PTO engage switch. Cycled a few times where the contacts must have been dirty/corroded. On the list to disassemble and clean properly but for the meantime, the couple cycles, allowed for the deck to engage and we are back in busness. Thanks for the the diagrams. Always a help.
