Default LT 1045 PTO problem

My PTO keeps disengaging while cutting. I pull it and it keeps kicking off. i recently replaced the drive belt and had to pull the PTO off to access the belt. I had trouble with the PTO ever since. My connections are good and the PTO is installed properly. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Probably knocked a connection loose changing the belt. Keep looking.

If something got knocked loose what could it be? PTO plug has good connection with no corrosion. Any other safety switches I should be aware of? I have the seat bypassed already.

Another question about the PTO...How much voltage does it need to keep the PTO engaged? I just measured it after I wrote this question and I am getting about 13VDC. It drops to 0VDC once I start driving it with blades engaged. So the next question is, what safety device causes it to drop to zero?

You might have good connection on the plugs, but maybe you have a pin fitment issue, or even a break in the wire somewhere. I would check continuity with a multi meter while doing a lite wiggle test on wires

This back probe kit is an excellent investment for those kind of test

If you have seat bypassed you can do this key on engine off, but PLEASE REMOVE your spark plug wires before sticking your digits somewhere they do not belong.

Sounds like the relay for the PTO is weak and won't hold.. If there is power and ground to that relay and the PTO has no power when this happens it is probably bad

Is this the relay that is next to the 12A fuse?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
