2011 GT2000 Need Help!!!
I have a 2011 GT2000 (14W-3DM-010) 20HP Kohler 42" Cut and need advice and suggestions.
Note: 450 Hours, Battery Voltage is 13.1 volts TODAY Problem: When I cut grass about 3 weeks ago (I live in coastal SC) I had to stop cutting grass to move a tree limb out of my way. I cut the PTO switch OFF, and set the Park Brake, idled the engine and got off to move the limb. When I returned to the mower, I noticed the blades were still turning. I knew something was not right. Double checked and the PTO switch was OFF. I got on the mower and started pushing/pulling the PTO switch with no change, would not cut off. I started cutting again and continued to Push/Pull the switch and the blades "finally" cut off. Then I pulled the switch back on and the blades worked. PTO switch worked fine for the rest of the cutting time, and the blades were OFF when I put the mower in the garage. Note (Mower has always been stored in a closed in garage.) Today, I went out to change the oil and started the mower to warm up a bit before I drained the oil. I noticed right away that the blades were turning and the PTO switch was OFF. I could not get the switch to work. (Blades turning, parking brake set, and me OFF the mower) Any help would be appreciated. I sure hope this is not a bad PTO $$$$. If so please let me know the best place to buy and the best PTO to get. Thanks, Riverrat |

Unplug the PTO wire near the clutch, if the PTO continues to run,
most times it is a bearing in the clutch that has seized. Not familiar with your clutch, but most bad bearings can be replaced with minimal work & knowledge Xtreme makes a quality clutch, someone will chime in here with more help. |

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
