*<sigh>* “If it’s not one thing, it’s another.”
Thanks to the assistance of folks here, I solved my fuel supply issues on my old LT1046 and last Friday knocked down the thigh-high weds that had grown while it was out of commission. But when I went out this morning to give it a second cut, a new problem kicked up.
Mower started right up, and when in position to start mowing I pulled the PTO switch, and the blades started going as usual. Mowed about 50” and the dropped the deck all the way down to scalp an area. After about 10’, blades were clearly not turning. Stopped mower, checked the mower deck, and found that the belt had come off. Got that back in place, but when I tried to resume mowing, the PTO switch is now stuck in the OFF position — it will not come out more than 1/4.”
Ideas here? What’s the drill on how to test the switch to see if it fried or something? (I do have a multimeter.)
