Hi Iam new to this forum and looking for help with our 1971 bronco 14 tractor model number 1-0421, this is my dad's tractor and Iam trying to help him with looking for answers or parts for it.

the problem is the blades are not engaging and he thinks it has to do the the clutch? okie so the problem is where do i find a new clutch for this old model or? Do you think there is something else we should be looking for as to why the blades are not engaging. I have been looking online for parts but iam not getting far without a parts number erggg. and toro is no help already called them.

I think you are talking about an electric clutch.

Try posting a "wanted" ad here in our classified section or there are a few vendors here that have parts tractors that may be able to help you.

Garry's second link above gives complete instructions on how to check, remove , and repair the electric PTO (power take off).

 

If you have a VOM (volt ohm meter) , you can check for 12 volt power at the PTO. Just unplug the two pin connector coming out of the PTO and with the tractor running and the PTO switch on, you  should measure 12v . at the wire leading to the dash.

  If you don't have 12v ,the problem is in the wiring or the switch.

 

  You can also check the  PTO by applying 12v directly to the two wires leading to the PTO. It doesn't matter which is +or -.   You will hear it click if it engages when the 12v is applied.
