    Power take off Switch keeps blowing out
    Power take off switch on john Deere L130 keeps blowing. I change the switch, turn on the mower deck, it will start and cut, but the least bind, or disengaging the PTO blows the switch again. What should I check next? The wiring all looks good.

    Hi,
    You should carefully inspect the wiring first. The two trouble spots were near the clutch and along the right side of the machine under the rear fender on your model.
    Additionally, there is a keeper on the left side of the machine inboard and slightly to the rear of the fron t tire. It holds the clutch from spining and should be vetical in orientation. With the machine off, you should be able to grab the clutch and move it slightly back and forth. If it does not, then the link is damaged or not straight and binding the clutch.
    Peace,
    Clarke
