1541 Mower PTO Wont Engage
I hit a small tree root this morning but it was big enough to stop the mower. It wasn't an abrupt stop, but stopped it nonetheless. I let it cool down and it started right up, but when I try to engage the mower, I get nothing. Blades turn freely.
Ideas on where to start troubleshooting? Thanks |

1541 pto
Belts good, when I engage or press the momentary PTO Switch to up position, nothing happens. The light on the dash comes on as usual but no engagement, sounds or anything at all.
Thanks |

PTO Issue
I appreciate the thought but now I don't think its electrical.
I tried to start once again and it kicked over once, there was an abrupt thump and then died. I am going to check further and will get back with my findings. |

Sounds like a seized PTO bearing. Remove it and see if the engine will start.

Look under deck, again. You did say you hit a tree root. Yes, you did say blades turn freely....but which way did you turn it?

I suggest the logical thing to do would be to remove the PTO drive belt and test run the engine?
You can also check the PTO operation while doing that. Now you can check the deck spindles and blades for binding, broken, bent with no drag on it. |

Just wondering what the "root" cause is?

Eventually we will get to the root of this problem.

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.
