3038e pto will not disengage, runs all the time. tractor will crank and start and pto will come on as soon as engine starts with pto switch in off position. safety switch on seat will work when pto switch pulled on and pto light on instrument panel will go off and on with switch position changes, engine will stop as normal. disconnected pto switch from block and pto shaft still engaged and won't stop. pto solenoid under the right foot rest stays energized (warm to touch) with the engine switch in off position and will kill the battery overnight (twice, new battery). only able to stop pto by removing the connector at the pto solenoid. something is keeping the pto solenoid energized all the time, regardless if engine on/off and regardless of pto switch on or off. pto did stop when connector at solenoid was removed so it doesn't seem to be mechanically seized inside. please help. thanks
