Agage1 83 #1 Posted June 23, 2012 The pto on my 14 automatic runs all the time. Could this just be a bad switch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ol550 830 #2 Posted June 24, 2012 Does it run with the power wire unhooked? If it does the bearing is locked up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly 1,028 #4 Posted June 24, 2012 Unplug it and see what happens or use a test light turn the key on and see if you have power to the plug at the PTO, if you do trace the wires back to see if it's been hot wired or the switch could be bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agage1 83 #5 Posted June 25, 2012 I used a test light and have no power at the pto. I guess I got to start tracing wires. I'm not familiar with the 14 auto or an electric pto so any tips would be appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #6 Posted June 25, 2012 With the engine off, switch off, you should be able to spin the pulleys on the clutch freely, not the whole engine, if not the clutch is probably shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agage1 83 #7 Posted June 25, 2012 Pulleys spin freely with motor off. They spin with the motor on with no belt. Could that just be friction causing them to spin. I haven't hooked any attachments to it yet wanna make sure it works first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agage1 83 #8 Posted June 26, 2012 Hooked up a belt, clutch seems fine, no power to the pto. Think it's electrical problem. Should the wire from the ignition switchbto the pto switch be hot. With the ignition in the on position my test light isn't lighting up. The wire looks like it's in rough shape I just want to make sure the switch is getting power before I replace it. Does anybody have a wiring diagram for the 14 automatic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moparfanforever 740 #9 Posted June 26, 2012 My 14 Auto w/electric clutch has an ACC on the ign. switch , the key has to be on that and then flip the switch for the clutch. Not sure if that is right , just the way it is. When i first got the tractor , the clutch would shut it self off while using it , turned out the switch was bad.

Agage1 83 #10 Posted June 26, 2012 I'm not getting any power to the pto switch at all. I have a green and a red wire that go from the ignition switch to the pto switch. I ran a quick continuity check tonite when I got home and both tested fine. I'm a little hesitant to just replace the switch when I haven't confirmed that it's getting power yet. I haven't tested the other wires on the pto switch yet, just the 2 coming from the ignition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #11 Posted June 26, 2012 Try a jumper wire right to the clutch, one wire is ground the other is power, it should make a clank sound if the clutch is good and you will see it move in and out as power is applied and removed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
