My mower is a 42" Cub Cadet zero turn, a 2017 model with about 110 hours on it. I mowed my lawn and stopped to move some lawn furniture. When I engaged the blades they engaged for maybe 20 seconds and stopped. I thought I had slung the belt but it was intact. Tried it a few times and each time it would engage for a few seconds and then disengage. After a few times of this it will not engage at all. Bad Switch? Thanks in advance.

My crystal ball is broken. You might need to get the VOM out and see where the voltage is being lost. Might be a bad clutch coil.

Mowers break even at 110 hours. It may be a simple connection issue or a rubbed wire problem. The switch is possible if people have been yanking on it too hard.

We need the product identification number off the label under the seat. There needs to be some simple testing done.

Worked on a Husqvarna Saturday a.m. pto wouldn't engage,
voltage in spec, resistance on coil in spec, adjusted the rotor air gap,
that was it!
Thanks,
Doug Lee
