Hi, we are new to this site. We are having problems with the PTO on our John Deere 145 automatic. Switch was replaced, will engage the blade for a few seconds then the engine will die and a fuse will blow. Any suggestions on what to check next? Help!

Hello Connie... Welcome to LMF
What switch was replaced?

If it was the PTO switch... there are a couple variations to the switches... they look the same but internally they are different...

You have something either wired wrong, or the wrong switch, or a wire is shorting to the frame somewhere (likely near the new switch)... :smile:KennyV

Thanks so much, Kenny. We did check the old part number against the new part (PTO switch) and they were the same. Will check the wiring.
