2003 Toro Wheel Horse 417 - Electric Clutch issue

When I pull the electric PTO switch it may engage for hours, not at all, or somewhere in between. There is no rhyme or reason; hot, cold, humid, dry, etc. does not seem to make a difference.

It may engage, then I jump off to grab something, get back on, and then click, click, click - nothing.

Everything else works great but the Engine to deck belt has smoked and/or broken twice in the past 2 seasons.

I replaced the switch hoping ... but no change. I assume its the clutch but hoping for a fix that wont cost $3-400.

I appreciate any input/advice! I am not a mechanic but going to try this repair!
 
Why don't you try "Jacks Small Engines". Get the instruction book.They are in Maryland and have a web site.
 
Does that have any interlock switches such as a seat or pto, only trouble I ever have with my 518 and 520 is those switches. Still have a 68 raider with electric clutch and never had a problem.
 

I have a seat and reverse mow switches which seem to work without flaw. I replaced the PTO on/off switch which changed nothing. Frustrating as there does not seem to be any rhyme or reason; seems random but more frequently not working past 2 months.
