I picked up a Scotts 2554 (John Deere G 100 I think) Garden Tractor that was in a barn for 3 or more years. Got the engine tuned up and all seemed well. I discovered that when I engaged the mower the battery lite came on. I went thru 3 batteries last season, kept thinking the voltage regulator was bad, After thinking the problem over I realized the PTO not functioning properly. Getting info from Deere is like pulling teeth. A tech manual is $85!! Anyone have tips or hints or a wiring diagram?? The mower deck /blades all function normally, as I mentioned above as soon as I engage the PTO (Electric)The discharge lite comes on and the battery discharges completely within 1 hour!!
