The hold in relay is not holding. Could be (but not limited to):

Bad switch
Bad connection
Too wide air gap on the PTO (this one is a stretch)
Poor connection at the ignition switch
You are just going to have to check all the electrical connections and find the issue. Best time to do it is when it acts up. Just one of those PITA electrical gremlin's that may not be easy to find.

The PO said that he replaced the PTO switch, so my guess is that it was giving him the same problems, and did not check the wiring. The wiring has been messed with because it has crappy connectors in random spots, the connectors are crimp style (I prefer to solder and shrink wrap all electrical connections). I am going to open the manuals that BIGMOZEKE sent me and see if there is an electrical wiring diagram, and just re-wire the whole PTO system instead of trying to play a guessing game on the wiring. Sometimes it just seems easier to go that route. I really think something is shorting out mainly going downhill because it is usually when I hit a bump. I go up the same hill and she runs like a champ.
