I believe the PTO switch on my mower went out today. I was mowing along, heard the deck cut off. Thought it was the belt. Pushed the switch in to look at the belt. Belt was fine. Pulled the switch out again and nothing.
The dumbness starts when I drove it up to the house and cut it off. I thought I would just get out a couple of wires and jump the switch. So far I haven't been able to do anything. There's only four terminals at the switch, so it can't be that complicated. I was initially going to patch it and go back mowing. But now I would just like to get it cranked and get it back in the shed.
Does anyone have any knowledge on how to at least crank the mower so I can drive it into the shed? Getting the deck on would give me some more options for getting a replacement switch, but I don't know about turning the deck on and not being able to quickly turn it off. Any help would be appreciated.
