Hi, I recently hooked up my auger, pushed the PTO button, and it lit up but no rotation. I also tried switching the Manual-Off-Auto selector switch but no go. It's been a while since I've used the PTO, and I think this has happened before, where it didn't work, and then after a while it worked! Should I open up the dash and wiggle and/or clean some connectors, or on the firewall? About a year ago I could not start the tractor, and finally took it into a shop, and they found a connector under the hood on the firewall needed cleaning - that was all! Is the PTO solenoid under the dash covering, or where would I find it? The fuse on the firewall for "Key Stop/PTO" seems to be good; runs ok.
Hey, thanks for the reply. No, this model has no lever like that, and no mid PTO. Just went out to the tractor to check on if it had a mid pto - no, just the drive shaft to the front axle. Started the tractor up to check on the pto again - first push, nothing again, 2nd push, the PTO came alive again! It works again, but we don't know why it didn't for a couple days! I guess a sometimes good, sometimes bad contact or connection somewhere.!! Thanks again.

Could be a bad connection somewhere or a bad switch too. Sometimes even the plug behind the switch can get corrosion over time.
