My blades won't engage on my john deere d155. I've changed the pto switch, and pto clutch. I've checked the voltage and have 12 volts all the way to the clutch.

You might try measuring resistance of the clutch coil. It should be 1.5 to 3 ohms.

Also check continuity of the grounded conductor at the clutch connector. It may be open which would give you 12V reading at the clutch but no energize.

If you have voltage at the clutch it pretty much has to come on unless it is burnt up. possibly a bad connection where it plugs into the clutch. or the wires going into the housing of the clutch may have been broken.

SOURCE: problem with John Deere L120 tractor

Park brake switch is the most likely culprit,any other would cause the tractor to not turn over in the crank position.

John Deere D140 PTO clutch tries to engage but fails. Why?

Try the following test. For safety purposes remove spark plugs. Now with engine off and key in run position turn PTO on. You should hear the clutch engage (clunk). Grab both sides of the clutch pulley and try to rotate the pulley. If the clutch is properly engaged you will not be able to rotate the clutch pulley without turning the engine.

John Deere Z840A Z-Trak mower. Why does engine die when PTO is engaged?

A possible cause is an open seat switch (operator presence). Locate the switch under the seat & unplug the switch from the harness. Place a small jumper wire into the female socket leads to the wire harness. If the PTO engages without engine shutting down, replace the seat switch.

Check to see if the mower deck is plugged or a piece of wood/debris is wedged between the deck and a blade, or some wire/rope is wrapped around a spindle. If the blades don't turn by hand, it'll stall your engine when the electric PTO clutch is energized.

Lastly, a discharged battery will cause an engine shut down if there's not enough reserve when the PTO is engaged. Measure the battery voltage with a meter. If the voltage is below 11.5 volts, you may have to replace the battery.

Why mower blades will not engage when buttom is pulled

I believe this one has an electric clutch. Check to see that the switch is operating properly, that the wiring is good to the clutch, and that the clutch is good. Use a volt meter to check that there is voltage to the clutch when the switch is operated.

Mower blades will not engage on my STX38

Turn the key switch to the on position. Pull the blade engagement switch on.Look under the engine and find the electric clutch. Disconnect the wire connection there and while using an ohm meter, check and see if there is 12 volts on one of the wires. If so, then the clutch may be your problem. If not, then you need to trace back the wire from the clutch connection and find out why there is no voltage

John Deere LX173 pto will not engage. Wet recently

Probably the pto switch. Find the 2 wire 'T' plug from the PTO clutch and disconnect. With a voltmeter across the the 2 spades on the tractor side of the plug you should get 12 volts DC with the PTO switch on ( you may need to sit in the seat ). If you get 12 volts at the plug its probably the PTO clutch. If no power then its a fuse or the PTO switch

Mowerdeck will not engage...

I own a similiar John Deere model (L130, 23HP with a 48" deck). I would check the electric clutch (called a PTO). To do this check the wires to this clutch and look for something disconnected. These wires (to this PTO clutch) should have twelve volts with the key on and the blades engaged.
