Exmark pto

4720 OWNER · 07-21-2008, 03:02 PM

Have an Exmark lazer z, 44" commercial deck.

Sharpened the blades and went out in the pasture to cut some of the thistle down. Brought it back in and shut down and put in the barn. Next day, took it out to do some lawn mowing. Hit the pto and nothing happened.

When i put it away was running like a top, mowed thistle like it was not even there. Nothing done to it in the mean time. Any advice from out there??

Still working on the Toro Groundsmaster. Had the center shaft rebuilt after the splines to the pulley got tore up. $350 for the parts and labor!!!!

Is the pto belt still attached? Does the pto clutch "click" when it's engaged?

I would be looking for a safety stuck, or a wire out / cut etc.

Just going to be some basic troubleshooting, see how far you have power, cycle all switches several times, tap the relays, check the couple fuses (if it is like a lazer Z they hang in the middle there.
