2005 Huskee riding mower PTO won't engage and mower dies
Replaced battery with new one, within several starts the new battery was drained. Mower will start by jumping but only runs a few minutes then dies, also the PTO will not engage at all (replaced PTO switch and still won't engage) does not even attempt to engage, as if there is no power to the switch. Anyone have any suggestions??

See if you had a multi meter we could see if your coil is charging your battery when its running. You could even by a cheaper battery tester and stick it on there when its running and it should read about 13volts which would mean its charging the battery.
the model number is #13AR606P730 . Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Also, do you have any idea where the safety switch is located that disengages the blades when the mower is put into reverse? Someone said that wire may have come unplugged, so I wanted to check that also.

I have a Craftsman, by AYP, with exactly the same problem and symptoms-exactly. I am puzzled.

the STATOR is what produces the charge to the battery. the stator is under the flywheel, the magnets that are on the bottom inside of the flywheel spins quickly around the stator which is stationary and produces the electro magnetic field, therefore, producing energy (charge).

Some coils actually do have a Stator directly in them. So hmm without the extra info I couldnt find out if it did or not which is why I suggested a simple way to determine if it did.

should be around the gear selector and be a grey , or grey and black rectangled shaped box with a plunger on one end and an electrical connection on the other.
