PTO is dead...
Got it off the mower and on the bench where I could do better testing. When current is applied it only retracts on one side. The internal field magnet is not responding on one side.
Looking online was a shocker. Using the Cub Cadet OEM part number a new one from Cub Cadet and several parts houses was $550 CDN (about $400US these days).
Found some noname brands for $250US
Remanufactured ones for $190US
Label on the PTO says Warner, model 5219-147. Went to Warners web site and got a new one for $122 delivered to a US address. I'm 20 minutes from the border so will drive down and pick it up when it arrives.
Thank you everyone for all the ideas and thoughts.
