Riding mower keeps dying when the PTO has been engaged On

[@P0werbandPr0ductions]

I had the same issue… spark plugs were fine. It turned out to be the PTO switch. Replaced it (12$) and worked right away 👌

[@christianlords1340]

the switch bogged down the engine and stalled it? wierd. seems like to me the clutch is binding, but if it worked.

[@joecorrie1]

That’s odd that the switch was it?

[@joecorrie1]

I’m dealing with one right now same issue will see.

Your shop is needing an extension fitted great video

[@MrJustDIY]

I ran out of room for sure but I'm trying to get some stuff done and gone and I have stuff I need to just put in the junk. Wish I could build a heated pole barn. How have you been?

[@IMARBAN]

Awesome Video...‼Thank you So Much‼

[@MrJustDIY]

Thank You

Very good buddy I had a craftsman last week and I was mowing with it and it kept kicking off the electric clutch and I took it off and I managed to get sandpaper and I sanded around the inside the best I could and I took some carburetor spray and cleaned it up the best I could and put it back on and so far it's doing okay but I look for it to go out I heard that they are expensive it has been sitting outside for a while and it was given to me and even the battery still worked

[@MrJustDIY]

I've done some that have been almost $400 for a new one. I had one today that needed a head gasket and Deck work done to it. The battery doesn't last long in the winter here unless you have a float charger on them unless it's in a heated building. I've been sick and lost my voice for 2 weeks but was sick for almost a month and was on two different antibiotics before getting over it so I couldn't make videos.

Good video brother! Mine did the same thing, one plug removed and shut off. What fixed it? Mine runs fine until I engage the blades and it loses power. Deck is clear, spindles and pulleys are good. Lost on a mower with 54hrs.

[@MrJustDIY]

I had to replace the coils because one of them was bad.

[@richardcole6566]

good show! where can I purchase that fancy spark plug tester?

[@MrJustDIY]

Amazon

Thank You

[@RogWatters]

Why not a bad plug ?

[@bertcochran6443]

The exhaust on the cylinder that isn't running will not be hot..

[@MrJustDIY]

After running it so long it still gets hot enough to burn me. How have you been?

[@Southernshaker]

Fine sir, good to see another video.

[@MrJustDIY]

@@Southernshaker Thank You

[@paulm8343]

I'm having the exact issue but both spark plugs are firing just fine. I've gone though everything I can think of.

[@MrJustDIY]

Safety switches, Bearings, Wires? They can be a pain sometimes. Does it lose spark at the plugs when you turn on the PTO or does it just slow the engine enough that it dies out?

[@paulm8343]

@@MrJustDIY it was my carbonator the whole time. Was getting too much air. Would kill my engine. It's running great now.

[@krazybouthood313]

How would you know thats what it was??? Im having problems with mines. It keep going off when im cutting grass​@paulm8343

[@dennybrewer326]

same thing happend to me ended up being blown head gaskit on drivers side new head gaskits fixed problem

[@MrJustDIY]

This one is still running good after fixing it.

[@ThomasColey-v6z]

I have a ts354xd , just had the fuel system flushed , rebuilt the carb , new vacuum fuel pump , fuel filter, I’ll get 50-60 feet and it will start bogging down , like it’s being starved of fuel , turn the blades off and it runs normal??

[@thersten]

did you ever figure this out?

[@242fuac]

I’d like to see a follow up to this. We have a 354xd. With under 25 hours when it first had issues.Running horribly. Have a 3 year warranty. Took it in 3 times. They told me I gave some water in the fuel. Which I told them was because of a faulty vent hose just under the gas cap which had snapped in half. Allowing debris, condensation, hose water to infiltrate the tank. Anyway, my 3 year warranty doesn’t mean shit I guess since Husqvarna and Kawasaki agree to do nothing. I’m out $4999.

[@Lecknye1961]

Check your belts it could’ve jumped off the track and got jammed up

[@christianlords1340]

it is the clutch.

[@davidmckinney6577]

I haven't been doing well at all this is the third week my sciatica nerve has been bothering me it hurts from my hip to my and my leg throbbing when I lay down but as long as I'm on my feet I'm okay but it has a warm spot on it but yesterday I got a dizzy spell that lasted about two hours I'm hoping it isn't a blood clot

[@MrJustDIY]

You should get checked out my friend just to be on the safe side.

[@hokt443]

Guy sounds like butthead from beavis and butthead

[@markiskool]

So, you have a garage full of junk tractors, you're pulling spark plug wires off as it's running and wondering why it's F'ed up? I'm thinking it's you that's messed up. Maybe you should be banned from buying and killing tractors. Just saying.

[@MrJustDIY]

Bless Your Heart and thanks for the view

[@SNIXC]

Pardon me but sir you have a ridiculously unnecessary attitude towards an innocent person. Thats absurd.

[@tRRickedOut]

So...... Pulling an ignition coil wire or power harness for the coil while running will not do any physical damage to an engine of any kind. Whatever idiot thinks otherwise obviously never had an older vehicle and should go back to basic mechanics school.
