Exmark Radius - Electrical Issues "Troubleshooting PTO"

[@2point..0]

Gotcha, I have to learn how to use a Clamp Meter!!! Liked #3 and subbed too!!!

You didn't specify to test at the pigtail or spades on the clutch for the resistance (OHMS). So test the spades on the clutch itself. You can also test for continuity at the same spades. You can test at the pigtail for voltage also instead of pulling the whole control panel. Turn your key on and pull the pto switch and you should have 12v with the motor off. I think that's easier and quicker because you test everything at the same spot. Then if you get goofy readings there you can go more in depth. Thanks for the video!

Here is one for you. I have a 2023 exmark radius with less than 250 hours on it. After the unit is running for an hour or two, the clutch will stop working until it cools down. Will make a faint buzzing noise sometimes but it has been doing it for at least 100 hours. Still under warranty but the dealer can't replicate the issue

Hey man, I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're having. If you haven't already fixed it, you might want to ask the dealer if they could ohm it out, to see if there's a direct short to ground in the PTO clutch. Hope that helps!

Please explain where the plug is at for the PTO clutch. You mention, “down there” but I’m not sure where to look or what I’m looking for.

There should be some wires down around the PTO Clutch, it has a connector that requires a flathead screwdriver to gently lift up on the tab while you're pulling the wires.

I have a question for you. I have a 2002 e mark 23 house Kawasaki . My clutch overheated, I put a new one in. Now it won’t start

[@oakwoodlawnmaintenancellc.1093]

Try disconnecting the switch for the p t o and see if it starts.

I have a 36 hustler and when I engage the PTO it shuts off and also when I go to move forward to shut off any suggestions

[@oakwoodlawnmaintenancellc.1093]

Sounds like you have a bad safety switch. I am guessing the seat or brake switch.
