My Hustler blades won't engage. I've replaced the PTO switch and get a click at the clutch but it won't engage the blades. I installed a new belt and everything on the deck look good. Is it possible the clutch is bad? I'd appreciate any ideas of what to look at next.

Thanks, Jerry

I sure would appreciate some advice on this please.

Thank you,
Jerry

Also need to test your voltage going to clutch. It should be battery voltage at WOT.
