Cool feature of the 1811. No, not relevant to the problem you are having.

You need to start at the key switch and trace the wires through clear to the solenoid. It runs through a couple things along the way. Neutral safety, and PTO. That is it. No others. Doesn't sound to me like you have eliminated the PTO switch. Go to the tech section and download the chassis service manual for the 1811. It has wiring diagrams in it.
