Electric front pto problem
I use a simplicity broadmoor to cut my grass. I have 2 cub 149 tractors. One is for snowblowing, the other is being redone to look nice. I need some help with the simplicity. I went on a simplicity forum but did not receive much help. If this is not proper, then Moderator please delete this post. When I am mowing the pto will not re-engage after being shut off with the switch. The pto is very hot to the touch. After it cools down in about an hour, it will re-engage with the switch. I use the switch that allows it to turn the blades while in reverse. I can cut all my grass this way, but if I forget and turn off the blades it will not re start them. The belt on the pto to the deck will not move after cutting the grass. It should be able to move by hand. I can release the deck belt tensioner to the pto and the deck spindles will all turn freely. Is my pto toast or could it be a switch problem? All help appreciated.
Thank you and have a great day.
Bob
