Woodsman 3 #1 Posted January 5, 2011 I've isolated my PTO problem to the switch. The replacement I picked up seems to be labeled different than the original. The instructions point to terminals for: Line A Load A Line B Load B I recognize the wire to the PTO and the wire from the light switch with fuse. Then there is a red to ignition and I think a red to the starter. I don't want to fry anything and my first attempt had the engine cranking when I turned the switch on. Can anyone instruct me where to put the wires on the new switch? :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duff 206 #3 Posted January 5, 2011 TT, what graphics software are you using when you create these really nifty (and useful!) diagrams like the one above? Duff :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duff 206 #5 Posted January 5, 2011 Very cool! I'm running XP Pro but haven't played with MSpaint. Gotta check it out! Thanks, TT! ~Duff :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodsman 3 #6 Posted January 6, 2011 Thanks for the diagram. I did a google on "line & load" to determine line was the power feed. However, the switch I picked up still won't work. The engine will only crank when the switch is in the "on" position. What did I expect for four dollars? I'll pick up a Toro swich and see how that goes.

BPC23 18 #7 Posted January 24, 2011 I can't tell you where to put the wires on your PTO switch, but maybe by looking at how mine is wired you can figure it out. The way it's wired below, I have to have the PTO off and push the clutch to start the engine. Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,147 #8 Posted January 24, 2011 maybe by looking at how mine is wired you can figure it out The green "wire" from the "S" terminal on the ignition switch should connect to the "top" center terminal on the PTO switch, not the terminal on the left.

BPC23 18 #9 Posted January 25, 2011 I just double checked the tractor and it's wired per the diagram and functions properly. The switch is a Delta brand, which is maybe different from the OEM switch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodsman 3 #10 Posted January 26, 2011 Here's an update: The replacement switch was from a local farm store. After testing, I realized it controls two circuits, but they don't run opposite. Either they are both on or both off. I ended up cleaning off the old switch and the terminals from the wires. It's working for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
