Great info here! I’m always amazed by ungrateful first time posters. Those that have responded, your efforts are appreciated as I know I’m still learning.

Some people live to work, some people work to live, while there are still many more who just watch from the outside and wonder why work at all.

A bad pto switch will not let the motor crank, just sayin.

Wire ends do break inside pto harness plug! Look closely and maybe you will see half the gold wire end missing.

A bad pto switch can be the problem or a broken wire end inside the pto switch harness. Look closely at each gold color wire end foe a 1/2 missing tab.
