1215 PTO Clutch
 
I flipped the switch and nothing happens. What could it be? I do hear the relay 'click' but nothing else happens. Please help.

I would say that the Reverse Relay is engaging but the internal contacts are bad.

Would that be the reverse switch that you are speaking about? The switch that engages when the shifter handle is in the reverse position or is there another relay I should be looking for?

NO....

The Reverse Switch and Reverse Relay are two separate and different components.

As a suggest, run a temporary jumper wire between the Red & Black wires on the Reverse Relay, to see if the PTO energizes. Bear in mind, this test is with the tractor running, someone sitting in the seat, tractor in Neutral, and the PTO switch is in the "on" position.

Went home tonight and it worked, I was able to mow what I needed to get together finished and when I was done I turned off the PTO and tried to start it right back up. Did not start. Could the relay do this if it gets hot?

Doubtful....

Something that gets hot and quits is the PTO Clutch itself. Is the "air gap" on the PTO adjusted to within the specification range..??

I'll have to take a look this evening. Is this something that has to be adjusted from time to time?

I check mine once a year in my spring check up.
