The electric PTO clutch on my LT1050 spontaneously drops out (de-energizes). It seems to possibly be vibration related. Our ground is rough and the deck belt is a tiny old and also floppy, but neither are really something extreme. I've checked all electrical connections and also they seem to be clean and also tight. It doesn't make any type of difference if the is in "reverse mow" mode or not. The PTO clutch itself seems to be just fine; works perfectly once engaged, and sometimes the stays engaged for a long time, so I dislike to start a solve by replacing the expensive PTO clutch. Anyone experienced this, and also what to be the can be fried problem/solution? :confused3:- Jay
one of the points that can collection up that problem is a marginal electrical system. Eliminate the battery post an adverse cable link first, proceed to clean every connection allude in the charging circuit v sandpaper, etc. Come bright metal. Make sure to include those connections to the tractor frame. Take it the battery come a qualified shop because that a charge and also a pack TEST to verify that it is qualified of maintain the 4+ amps required to store the PTO engaged. Lastly, re-connect the cleaned, removed negative post. Over may not fix your problem, but can't hurt and is no an high value repair. An excellent luck - repost if ongoing problems.

You have actually a bad ground. Had exact difficulty with a Husky. Had actually a bad crimp on a spade connector. Provide each among them a an excellent tug, and also see if a wire comes loose.
Wow, 4amps?! The battery in the is marginal in ~ best, therefore that's more than likely the problem. I'll try a new one. I'd formerly checked all electrical connections, however some are tough to acquire to. I'll check again.Thanks!- Jay

I have actually the same mower together you, and I had actually the specific same problem. I found it to be a rubbed cable on the appropriate side of the transmission, wherein the rod from the forward/ reverse pedal attaches. The move there has to do v kicking the PTO out when reversing...but when the wire is rubbed bare, and also gets grounded, the pto shuts down going any direction. It drove me nuts before I discovered the problem....it would run one hour, then kick out, operation 10 minutes, then kick out...sometimes it would kick out 3 time in 5 minutes, then run fine because that an hour....once found, I removed the wires native the switch, taped them up, left lock unconnected....problem solved. Ns did this probably 5 year ago....mower had actually 905.7 hours on the clock as soon as I obtained it out yesterday to mow for very first time this year. Still has actually the original PTO clutch. Will be easier to gain to this wire connection with ideal rear wheel removed.....good luck..hope this helps....Hill Billy Bob
