But now it is frequent. Is it a loose wire? Bad switch? Belt too loose? Thanks again to all who help!

This isn't new for us.... this question gets asked about 10 times a mowing season.
Yes, it could be all the things you listed, except a loose belt. That is unless the PTO is not disengaging and the belt is slipping. In which case you will need to figure out which issue you have. You will have to check each electrical component that has to do with the PTO while it is acting up until you find the issue. With electrical problems, we can advise where to look, but you will have to find and repair the problem. Get out a DVOM and test light and start testing. If you need a wiring diagram, it can be found in the service manual.
