John Deere z737 stopped mowing

[John R]

Well, I found one broken wire by the starter and after I repaired it the mower started and I went and mowed for about 10 minutes before the mower stopped working. So now it runs but the PTO will not engage. When I have the mower running and pull the PTO the orange light (battery I think) gets dimmer. My shade tree assessment is there is another short in one of the lines. But I'm open to suggestions. Does anyone know what color the PTO lines would be and the routing? Everything runs into a harness. I thought the PTO switch might be bad but it did work for a little bit. The continuity check seams to be okay on the switch.

Sounds like your charging system need attention.

Well after chasing connections, switches, and everything else my problem ended up being the PTO clutch which burnt up some wiring. Thanks for all of the suggestions and tips.
