Thanks Cap'n Ned. I have a 2544 as well and figure that may save me a 60 mile trip one day. BTW I am a long time member/lurker but got a new account recently due to password issues.

You're welcome. You'll find that the crowd here really wants to help you fix whatever is wrong and is very supportive of those who try to go DIY.
I also have a 2544 also with PTO problems. I was mowing, 1 1/2 hrs, PTO just stopped. Fuse is fine, replaced anyway. Blades are clear. Checking everything I found a black wire, , looks like 18 ga. wrapped around the shaft on the engine side, sheared and frayed.
When I start the PTO, it sounds like it spins, but doesn't engage the belt-pulley. Try to spin by hand it locks so I guess the key isn't broken. No? I can't find where the wire goes, can't find a diagram on line showing the PTO with the wire, can't get it fixed - any ideas? I don't think it is just debris, but can't find other leads. Sure would appreciate anyone's help. Thanks, Sam

The PTO wiring looks like this.
