Hi Dale,
since I could get the tractor going and still had the problem with the engince cuttting out when the pto switch was turned on. I installed a temporary circuit direct fron the battery witha a 25 amp fuse in line and it blew and the blue wire going to the pto clutch got real hot. there is a good ground on the black wire coming off the pto. So, I am begining to think the pto clutch coil is shorted. In the begining, rmember I told you the 25 amp fuse holder got hot, I am assuming a heavy current draw? Now, that i went direct to b+ on the battery the same thing happened with the pto connector, it melted. Tomorrow, I will disassemble the pto of my old John Deere 175 and pray to god it matches and that this will cure it?
I looked at the prices of new ones, OMG they are expensive!!! Wish me luck and thanks again.
Nick
