I can unplug pto and it runs great. my question is,how is the best way to determine if the pto has shorted itself out and feeding back? I have replaced the battery and pto switch.

Just replaced a clutch on a scag last year for the same reason. Take on ohm meter and check the resistance across the two wires. Should read in the range of 2.4-3.4 ohms. Any higher or lower indicates a problem with the clutch. Also while testing go from one of the wires to the housing of the clutch and see if you have continuity. continuity indicates a short.

So...since my PTO unit shows 2.2 ohms and I blow fuses when I engage the PTO, I guess my PTO is shorting out.
I already replaced the switch..fixed it for about an HOUR. Then it started blowing fuses when I engage the PTO.
I may be destined for an expensive PTO replacement it seems???? Give it to me straight fellas.
