How to Easily test most PTO switches with a volt/ohm meter. John Deere, Husqvarna, Toro, Gravely 

Not only did I learn what blades go to what on a PTO switch, but you also taught me what the ohms setting is for!

Great job T-Bone. I was working on PTO switches this week. Thanks for the info!

very simple and my mower was not getting fire to the coil ,i checked this pto switch and it was shorted ,thank you very simple

Thank you simple and easy I was able to test my switch using your video.

This was a great explanation of how the switch works! I have to test mine soon and now I know how!

Awesome video brother thanks for sharing

Good explanation 👏 even i understand thanks

Thank you so much!

Good video.

Thank you!

Thanks a million

Good explanation

Very nice!

i also put a jumper wire in to the harness outside terminals and mower cranked up

Ok great video

Ok now this I can understand! Not all over the top.

Thank You subbed

Great video T Bone. My multi meter doesn’t beep on ohms. ( cheap meter I guess). What reading should I get when testing the switch mate TBone

How about a five pin pto switch . Its from a kohler.

Any idea why there are so many dang terminals? Seems like it would only need 3, not 8, right?

Thanks

I stalled my mower cutting along a wet bank when the wheel sank in the soft ground. Now, I can't start my Scag Turf Tiger without jumping it with a battery charger. It will run, and I can move the mower out of the garage and around the yard, but the blades won't engage when the switch is pulled out. I pulled my fuses yesterday, and they are OK. I've traced wires from the area where the key is turned where the blade engage switch is located to the frame and PTO in the back of the machine, and I can't find anything wrong with the wires. I pulled some of the plugs apart, and they are dirty, but everything was working prior to me stalling the mower. How do I go about diagnosing what's wrong with my mower. I'm trying to do this myself because anyone who does this professionally can't get it done for the next month, and my grass needs cut now. I'm planning on pulling my PTO switch now and testing it to see if that's the problem.

So does this switch pass as a good switch? Mine never changed when switch was pulled or pushed

WHAT IF IT IS 0.5

OL means "out of limits" not overload.

Skip video and read: My switch is a DELTA 6204 from a John Deere E140 mower. Bottom view, where x is missing TERMINAL 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 x 9 SWITCH OFF (pushed in), these SHOULD conduct. 1-3 (My old BAD switch is burned open here) 4-6 7-9 SWITCH ON (pulled out), these SHOULD conduct. 2-3 5-6 ==================== Period. End of story. Gawd, I hope this helps somebody.

Mabeya start a gò fund me for a haircut, otherwise great video

still cofused as I am a rookie

I think I figured it out after watching the video 3 times 🥸🥸🥸😒😒

Thank you!
