1250 electric PTO draining battery
1250 hydro PTO works fine but I would like to fix the battery drain issue. After reading a couple of other posts and doing to all the appropriate tests I'm certain my charging system is working properly and my PTO clutch is worn and draining the battery prematurely. Is rebuilding or repairing a worn PTO possible. A new / replacement seems to be running around $250.00.
It only dies when using the PTO for a period of time and then battery will be dead.

I don't think the PTO is causing your drain. You either have a bad battery, or the charging system isn't up to par. Amp load from a PTO is like 3 Amps, maybe 5. It would have to be drawing over 15amps to overpower a good charging system. Which...... would blow the fuse.

I agree. Additional, you may have the wire feeding the PTO partially shorting to ground. Using a DVM or VOM could check this out.

I am pretty sure the battery is not the problem. I have been thru several because of this issue. I've tested the charging system and all seems to be good with that as well. Need to go thru the wiring to find a possible short.

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.
