When installing a new PTO clutch it has to be burnished in, according to instructions with the unit. Also, there is a specific gap between the clutch segments that can be adjusted. Too big of a gap and the clutch may not engage fully.
Thanks, appears the after market switch came with " extra" plastic near the contactsIf it's not kicking in at all your "new" switch may be the fault. Regardless of the condition of your idler, the motor should still rotate the belt even with its dragging on a pulley.
Clutch was fine, after market switch appears to be the problemWhen installing a new PTO clutch it has to be burnished in, according to instructions with the unit. Also, there is a specific gap between the clutch segments that can be adjusted. Too big of a gap and the clutch may not engage fully.
Turned out to be after market switch wasn't making a solid contact..thanksI have a mower that will not engage the PTO Clutch when it is hot. Engage the clutch cold and it will work fine. But, don't turn it off because you will not get it to reengage again till she cools down for several hours.
Then you shouldn't have been hearing a click from the clutch when the switch was pulled like I thought I read in the original or a previous post.Clutch was fine, after market switch appears to be the problem
