    Can not flip on PTO switch on my old John Deere ride on mower
    I checked all the questions and answers connected with this problem.
    My mower worked just last week.
    Maybe I have to pull OUT and then lift the switch?
    I have the power on, engine in neutral, brake off, clutch in... and I can not flip that
    PTO switch so I can mow.
    :confused:

    Peace,
