Got a little more work done today.
The PTO switch was removed, and although I was told that the PTO was functional, I didn't know for sure. The wiring was clipped as well. Its a very simple circuit so I traced the leads, found power and ran a new lead from the fuse to the switch, then back out to the PTO. There wasn't much of a lead to work with at the PTO but I was able to get a good sealed crimp connector in there. The PTO kicked on right off the bat, so that's one victory. Now to trace down the driveline vibrations and start addressing the issues with the deck. I'd like to be able to test the engine under a load to see how it really performs.
