PTO not engaging

Is this an electrical pull on, push off activated knob? Or the lever action engagement unit?

Elecrical pull on, push off

Elecrical pull on push off

o.k. without trying to start the engine, try this:
1. set on seat, and depress clutch / brake pedal as if you were going to start.
2. turn the key to the "on" position,
3. activate the engagement knob.
4. do you hear a click?
5. if so your switch is working the pto clutch.
6. if you do not hear a click, it could be the switch, the wiring, or the pto clutch itself.
7. you can run a jumper wire directly from the battery to the pto clutch wires, or plug. If it does not have a plug use "t" pins and pierce the wires insulation, next tie the negative wire onto one of the t pins, then touch the positive wire to the other t pin. If it clicks the pto clutch is o.k. (hope that it is, these are really expensive, some over $300.00). If the clutch test good, trace wires to look for naked areas, or breaks, if none, assume it is the switch itself.
