So it looks like what I need to repair is not the connection I shared a photo of, but the connection going left up toward the OEM knob. I haven't fully taken apart the tape there yet.
In the photo I posted, the wires are just twisted together. Sounds like I need to butt crimp them
@slomo @Bertrrr @Tiger Small Engine Thanks!
Is this what you're talking about? These the connectors to crimp and seal? I was an idiot and unscrewed one completely before screwing it back. This was after the PTO was running again for a few minutes.
It went for the longest it has ever since this...
@Bertrrr and @Rivets, thanks!! It appears the PTO wires just got dislodged, when I fiddled with them the PTO now will engage, but then stops after a little bit of tractoring. I noticed some electrical tape was around the PTO wiring plug, and some had come loose, so I'm going to apply some more...
Hope you get a good laugh out of this 😁. Thank you kindly in advance for any suggestions.
I thought my lawn was clear, I have no idea where the stray hammock strap came from but here we are.
I turned off the lawnmower as soon as I knew something was wrong, and I thoroughly removed the strap...
