NEW PTO ON IT'S WAY TO ME/ still have a short somewhere.

Hi Dale,

Well, as you know the old PTO went up in smoke, so I decided to look for a used one and found one for$100.00 ( from the guy that sold me the tractor) and then found a new one on e-bay for $179.00. I decided to go for the new one, should be here Monday.
I spent most of the weekend working on find a short. I have all the harnesses apart no clue? The issue now is the tractor starts up and runs fine, idles nice and runs well at fast speed. But, as soon as I turn on the PTO switch it dies? Any clues? Remember there is no PTO in the tractor and the cable is disconnected. I buzzed out most of the connections. There is one thing that is strange, the safety switch on the seat buzzes to ground on both the black wire and the gray wire with the switch out of the circuit? That doesn't make sense to me? The last thing I want to do is burn up this new PTO clutch that's coming in.
Thanks
Nick
