Before you start pulling the motor down, just check the ignition unit has not come loose and is hitting the flywheel

SOURCE: I was riding the tractor mowing shut it off to get

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.

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.

  • Make sure all wires are connected to the switch, and to the clutch.
  • Look under the hood and look for any fuses that will be attached to a wiring harness and make sure they are not blown.
  • Make an inspection of the belts. Make sure the belt is riding on all of the pulleys.
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.

Why did my s10 motor lock up after I shut it off

Have you put a socket on the crankshaft pulley bolt and tried to turn the engine? If you have and it does not turn remove the spark plugs. The engine may have flooded and locked a cylinder. Also try removing fan belts to see if it turns. If it turns by hand I suspect a starter motor issue. Otherwise you need a motor

Engage blades engine shuts down

if you removed the seat and then placed a fuse in the plug for the saftey switch and then started having this issue . with my experience with the safty switches on the seats most are open as not connected to make a circut when your sitting on the seat or pressure is applied to the seat . try removing the fuse and attempting to start mowing or least ingauge the blades and that should fix your issue ... when removing the origonal seat you just left that curcut open so it can not close and make connection when you get off the seat . so you should be fine after removing the fuse from the socket .. happy mowing

Craftsman riding mower LT3000 blades won't engage/turn

Well, we wouldn't want to lose your little girl, but goats can be very lovable.

The problem could be it just needs lubricating. I'd first spray WD-40 on every part of that mecanism which moves, top to bottom, even inside the button on top and underneath the deck.

If that doesn't work, get back to me, please.
