The starter solenoid sounds to be bad. Follow the + cable from the starter and it will lead to the solenoid. This is usually about $10. The battery produces power to the solenoid which then produces power to kick the starter over. The clicking is the contacts in the solenoid you are hearing.
SOURCE: the mower turns on fine but when i engage the pto
could have bad pyo switch or pto clutch.make sure every thing turns freely,blades and pullys then unplug clutch and try to enguage if does not blow fuse check clutch with meter. put meter on ohms probe one terminal and other on ground via clutch housing should not have continuety check other terminal to ground.voltage goes in one term and out the other like litebulb if potting (insulator) in clutch is melted wire inside will short on housing.hope this helps

Sounds like either a wire is detached from something or simply the switch is bad. Also depending on the model there is some times a fuse for the electronic clutch.
If you are still having a problem, it may be the switch. With the mower key on, and the engine not started, (DO NOT START ENGINE, ONLY HAVE KEY POWERED ON!) have some one engage the PTO switch while you listen for a click from the deck belt drive pulley. If you do not hear a click form the pulley, which has the clutch attached too, then it is not engaging. This is possibly the switch.
Remove the switch. there will be 2 wires on it. Doing the same as before listen to the deck belt drive pulley(WITH THE ENGINE NOT RUNNING, BUT KEY ON.) whiles some one touches the 2 connectors on the wires from the switch together. You should hear a click. If you do then you have a bad switch. Easy fix. You can even Start the tractor, with every one clear of the mower, and then touch the 2 wires together and the blade should come on.
If you still do not get the blades to engage then most likely the clutch for the blade engage is shot. this is a more expensive replacement. There could also be a loose or broken wire some where you haven't found. If every thing is intact, then I would look into a new clutch for the PTO.
