While mowing the other day, my Model 3240 Cub Cadet with 54" mowing deck came to an abrupt halt when I hit a large flat rock that appeared without warning. The tractor still ran but the mower would not engage. The front PTO belt had snapped. I replaced both PTO belts and thought I was home free but moving the PTO switch handle to the "mow" position does not activate the mower blades. The blades and the belts on the blades are all fine, as is the front drive shaft on the mower deck.
Could someone please suggest a solution to my problem. Did my abrupt stop after tangling with that rock damage the PTO switch? What steps do I need to take to isolate and fix this problem? Thank you sincerely in advance for your help.
