Hello,

I have a Murray riding lawn mower 425000X8 that starts and runs however I can't get the mowing blades to engage. I've verified with a voltmeter that the safety switches are good, the blades turn freely and I have a new battery installed. Short of it being a PTO clutch problem I don't have any idea what else could be the problem. Anyone have other ideas or are you in agreement that it's probably a bad PTO clutch and have to replace it.

Thank You,
Thunderous34
