This is just like the old coffee shop, which was like the old coffee shop down the street. Pull up a chair, sit down and enjoy some good discussions. Please, no political, religious or racial posts.

Ariens Sierra pto question

Post by eplummer »

Hi Everybody,
The PTO has been engageing intermittently over the summer but usually will stay operational long enough for me to get the lawn done but not any more. I thought it was the belt being worn as the PTO was turning but not moving the belts. Changed the belt and now it seems that the PTO is not turning. Everything seems to be free when I turn it by hand.
I know there are some switches under the frame and dash but everything is connected. upon visual ispection.
Is there one switch that may be more suspect than the others or is there prefered end to start at to test them or a wire that is more likely to break causing a short?
Thanks in advance
Eric
