Sorry for the delay, BLASTED internet keeps dropping out and has been out for the last 3 days - #@#%&#*#$

I connected a DVM as shown below. However not shown in the pictures, use duct tape to hold the leads in place and also hold the meter in the spot show so I could see what the voltage to the clutch was when it dropped out. I needed to determine whether it was the clutch winding that was bad or the circuits in the tractor that was causing a problem. when I saw the clutch dropped out AND voltage was still applied at the point the meter was connected, it greatly narrowed the search to what the problem was and where it was located. In my case, the voltage was there when the clutch dropped out. While having the wife in the drivers seat with the PTO on, simple movement of the wiring AFTER the connector exposed a broken wire that I was able to repair.
