PTO will not stay engaged
Weird chain of events that may or may not be coincidental, so bare with me.
I was using my Bercomac 48" snowblower on my Cub Cadet LGTX 1050 and the belt from the PTO to the blower sub frame snapped. It was a belt with less than 20 hours on it. I had just been blowing a relatively heavy section of snow, but I would have expected the sheer bolts to give away first. I replaced the belt, and now when I engage the PTO it tries to engage, and advances the belt about an inch, then stops. I can push and pull on the PTO switch and it tries to engage every time, but it won't stay engaged. I've checked the resistance at the PTO and it is 3.3 Ohms, within the 2-4 Ohms in the spec. I've also run a wire from the negative of the PTO to the ground and the result is the same. I feel like this is telling me that the PTO switch, relay, and related safety switches are working since it tries to engage. Does anyone have any ideas what my next steps should be? EDIT: Adding some info. Seat safety switch appears to be working because if I am NOT in the seat then the PTO doesn't even try to engage. If I sit in the seat then it tries to engage. EDIT2: The reverse safety switch red wire had broken off, but it looks like it has been broken for a while. I did repair both the red/black and green wires but the issue still persists.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
