I tried my best to search and find the answers but couldn't.

My 782 with a magnum 18 in it has some issues with the electric PTO.

It's gotten worse after 2 days of snow blowing.

Sometimes the PTO will randomly disengage. Toggle still centered in engaged position.

Since the blower has been installed, I noticed that upon turning the PTO switch off the blower kept rolling at the same speed. I had to run the blower into the snow to get the PTO to stop turning. Had to do this A LOT because the QA42A blower was pretty much worthless until I coated the shoot with turtle wax.

Anyway today I was running it again and it was randomly shutting off. But today it was stopping turning. And after only about 15 minutes it wouldn't turn the blower anymore. It kind of looked like it tried to turn over but was not making the "click" sound and it would eventually stop. I also tried to hold the toggle in the up position and blow that way. No dice.

So without turning any wrenches any thoughts?

Adjust the PTO?
Remove PTO and exchange for a PTO off parts tractor, has series 1 kt17.
Remove PTO and put a rebuilt/new PTO on? (Probably not in the budget).
Push it out in the driveway and set it on fire to finish clearing snow that way?

Thanks OCC!!!!
