I had the same problem on my 1572 and 1772. It drove me nuts for the longest time. The PTO switch was losing the connection between terminals C & D. While that alone should be easy to find, it really wasn't when you consider that when I put my meter on it to check it out, the connection would be re-established. I got a set of small alligator leads clipped to the C & D connections them when it happened again, I could see what was going on without disturbing the area. A new switch took care of all those start problems.
