Can be if its coil is partially shorted. These usually 5-7 amps current-wise.
Disconnect the pto clutch wire connector at the pto clutch assembly. Using multimeter do a ohms test on the engagement coil. If it reads less than 1.5 ohms then it is partially shorted.
I have seen clutches to work even pulling up to 15 amps when partially shorted which more than most small engine alternators can produce.
