I just joined the forum. I am also on the TractorByNet forums.
I have a 2007 Cub Cadet i1050 mower. I took it out for the first lawn cutting of the year today. I encountered a problem with the electric PTO.
I believe that I have isolated the problem but a confirmation would be nice.
Problem: I can not engage the PTO (blades) when in the 'Normal' position on the key switch. I can however engage the PTO (blades) when in the 'Reverse Mow' key switch position. I cut the grass in that position. I normally mow half the time in 'Reverse Mow' anyway.
When the tractor was not running, I turned the key switch to the 'Normal' position. I heard a constant clicking in the PTO relay. Go to the 'Reverse Mow' position and the clicking stops. I unplugged the relay and with some tinkering it then engaged the PTO in the 'Normal' switch position. I only managed to get it to work once. I am thinking that the relay is toast.
I've read that the battery and make PTO clutch do funny things but my battery is good.
