jd 455 pto solenoid problems

[Glenn9643]

it is not the seat switch and if i manually engage the pto by pushing in the valve spring it works fine

There's got to be a "sending unit" type switch somewhere in the system that telegraphs to the seat switch that the PTO is engaged... perhaps that is where your problem is somewhere near the knob you pull to engage the PTO? I don't have a wiring diagram but you might try your dealer for help with a screen print off his computer? Good luck.

Do you have anything hooked up to the pto when you try it? It could be it is not hooked up properly,or it is binding.It also makes me wonder why the solenoid burned out in the first place.
