Simple as getting my Son to solder the wires together for now? What was the original routing of the wires? Stress level pretty high at home and I am trying to reduce it somehow. I hate being helpless.

Actually, I was thinking I should just have him jump the bare wire coming from behind the PTO and it is snaps shut, wire re connection and safe routing is the best thing they can do to get the machine back on grass duty.

Thanks in advance!

Kinda hijacked the post here bud... Anywho, Jump the wire? Power needs to be provided to coil. If your saying to jump it somehow to make it stay engaged? Not a good plan at all.. Dangerous for one thing. If the wire can be soldered back on that is the route I would take. Hate to see a live pto and blades spinning take someones toes off..
