I recently bought a 322 and have been wondering why the front PTO does not engage until at least 1/2 throttle. I flip the switch at low throttle, the indicator lights up. Then as I increase the throttle the PTO kicks in. Once the PTO on I can lower the RPM again and it stays in engaged. I though I found the problem earlier this week when I notice some wires had been badly damaged at one point by the deck belt. Unfortunately it behaved the same way after a careful splicing and soldering. My other thought was do I have a voltage problem, because when the headlights are on the PTO needs an evener higher throttle position to engage. Note the alternator light never goes on during operation. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks Pete
