Default Tractor stalls when engaging the PTO

I have a 2182 and just installed a new 48" deck, now when I turn on the PTO the engine stalls. Any idea what is going on. Also where do you check the hydro fluid on these. Thanks again.

Safety switch? Move the seat forward all the way and lift the seat and check the dipstick.

Did it stall with the old deck? Do the spindles turn easily by hand on the new deck? You check the hydro under the seat.

Curious.....Is the engine stalling from (A) a heavy mechanical load, or (B) it electrically bogs or kills the engine.....???

Agree with the above question. I have several 16 hp Vanguards that will stall if the PTO is engaged before the engine is warmed. If you pull the choke out a little when you engage the PTO, that fixes the problem.

A 2182 has the Kubota gas engine. My 2182 with a 60" Haban will engage at about 1/2 throttle. They do seem to need to be spooled up just a bit.
Just wondering if he has a late 2182 with the large PTO pulley and an early deck with the small pulley because they do have a couple pulley combos.

This may seem too simple but did you check to see if the mower blades are jammed or touching.
May sound dumb but I had one like that baffle was bent blade was hitting it.
All it took was a soft persuasion with a rubber mallet. Then everything worked fine.

Take the belt off the pto and see if the problem goes away. If it does, then you have a problem with the attachment, if not then it's probably an electrical problem or something with the pto.

Thanks guys for all your thoughts. It is a NOS deck I located and did spin freely when I installed it. It is a later 2182 with the large pulley on the PTO and a smaller on the deck. It may be the warm up issue because I did use it once but the tractor was already warm. I am going to go out now and let it warm up then try it again. Will let you guys know.

Also, I have learned that if your battery is really weak the PTO can stall the engine when it is engaged. The PTO takes a lot of electricity to operate and that can cause the plugs to not fire. My guess is that it is in the safety system somewhere. You can use a jumper wire to go from the battery or starter terminal and if the PTO operates normally then it is in the safety system. If not then it may be the battery or a mechanical cause. Good hunting!

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.
