PTO on my 1526 stopped working

[dave1961]

Hello from the Heartland, My PTO stopped working on my Mahindra 1526 while I was using my brush hog. The PTO Icon lights up on the dashboard. The lever to my left moves freely, as in does not lock up in one position or the other. The knob style switch on my right turns freely. The hydraulic tank is full. The only strange or weird item of note is the 10Amp fuse in the fuse-box located in the front engine compartment keeps shorting out. Any suggestions / comments etc. v/r Dave

if that fuse goes to your pto switch it possible you already said it ,a wire is shorting out somewhere. I would follow along the frame to see if smashed wire somewhere.

Thank You, I'll have to get it under some shade and a fan blowing in my direction. Today we are beginning our hot season here in NW Missouri.
