    John Deere Manual or PTO help
    Handyman, fix or build anything but this has me stumped.
    Second hand machine, I don't have a model # as the cowling is gone. I found a serial #C312G 080978M. Do you know if the model # is somewhere else on the machine? I got these numbers off a plate on the front below the controls. I am having problems with the PTO not disengaging. Runs great otherwise.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Actually you have the model number (thanks for the numbers) and it is a 312. A fine machine with stout drive and a 12 HP Kohler K321.
    Suspect the wire that grounds the ignition or the switch.
    Peace,

    Thanks again,
