Default PTO switch does not engage mower blade on JD LX173

I'm sorry. Yes, it's an electric PTO. I did look behind the switch and
there does not appear to be any loose wires.
Thank you.

While cutting my lawn this evening the blade just stopped. Tractor

starts
and runs fine, but mower blades will not engage. Anyone have any

thoughts
as to the cause? Thank you.

Do we have to guess what the details are ? Should I assume it has an
electric PTO clutch and you haven't check the wires to see if one fell off
the switch ?



see if you have 12 volts at the clutch when engaged. if so it needs a
clutch and they are expensive. i've done a lot of deere clutches over
the years.
