Default ID component/Suggestions 1250 Hydrostatic

Greetings friends, I have a 1250 Hydrostatic model. I am having an issue with the PTO turning on.(and boy is my grass getting long.) I ordered a new switch so maybe that will resolve my issue. I was just curious if anyone had any suggestions. I am also unsure what the component is in the picture. I thought it was a fuse but now it seems like button to me. I see the wiring for the PTO toggle switch has wiring running to it. In the past i have had issues with the tractor not turning on, which I assume was the interlock with the PTO switch. I was able to get the tractor going by just giving the switch a little jiggle/turning it on and off, if that was even what "fixed it" I am also curious if anyone knows if this tractor has any other interlock like with the seat needing weight on it. I bought it off a coworker, he warned me that the blades will still go if you get off. I am curious if this is something he did or the mower is so old they didn't integrate that type of interlock in. I think I'm posting this in the right thread, forgive me if its not. Any suggestions and advice and knowledge you can impart would be appreciated

That's the fuse for the PTO!
Push in a bit while turning to the left and it should just pop/pull out.
Therein may lie your problem.
Start there.
And check the wiring from there through the circuit to the PTO.
A tiny bit of WD-40 in the switch itself may aid a bit as well.
Work it back and forth to loosen it up some.
Check for juice at the plug into the PTO as well and make sure all the connections are clean bright & tight including the ground from the engine to the frame.
You should be able to hear it "click" if operable while flipping the switch, engine off of course but key in the on position. Don't for get to turn the key back off!

Thanks for your input, I ended up getting the fuse out. It was harder to unscrew than I thought it should be which is why I thought it might not be a fuse. I was afraid of breaking it. It looked ok to me. The new switch will be here in a few days maybe that will help. I also saw some videos about having too large a "air gap" in the front PTO clutch so if the new switch doesn't work I might check the tolerance on the clutch. Thanks again for your suggestions, be safe and well.

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.
