PTO Quit

[MrMedic]

Tried to use the auger today, no PTO. I'm guessing its the seat sensor switch, engine doesn't shut down if i get off the seat when its in gear. Is the sensor easy to get to? Or more like a shop item. I'm ok with bypassing the sensor if that's an easy option.

2022 Workmaster 55. About 80 hrs (bought it used with 30 hrs on it)

Any good ideas?

Seat switch on that model sits right under the pan on the left side where your thigh rests. You can get to it without pulling much apart. Couple bolts and it slides out. Part's cheap too if that's what it is. Before you swap it though, check the actual PTO shaft itself. Spin it by hand with the engine off and make sure it turns freely. Sounds like you've got good electrical behavior so the switch might be fine but a stuck shaft will feel dead the same way. Got a photo of what you're seeing when you try to engage it?
