| i recently replaced the switch on my simplicity tractor. pto worked for about 5 minutes and same problem occurred. i returned switch and new one works again but only run it for short time. Could it be a ground problem blowing switch?
$40 for another switch will hurt... |

| More info could be helpful. It sounds as though you are having issue w/ the PTO switch burning out? More common causes for this are voltage spikes from the clutch that can be helped w/ installing a diode assy or simply too much load from the electric PTO clutch. Without more info- it's hard to see if I'm on the right track. |

| Yes I think you are on right track. Just burnt out another pto switch. i am being told i need to replace clutch assembly. is there a way for me to test this to confirm before purchasing a clutch? thanks for your help... |
