There is a diode across the coil winding of the clutch electromagnet. the diode eliminates the electromagnetic kickback pluse from causing damage to the contacts of the deck on off engage switch. The diode could be shorted causing the 0 ohm reading on your meter. The clutch is polarity is very important. Hooking the wires up backwards can short out the diode

I was replacing the sump gasket. Installed the PTO and I have space between the the PTO and the pulley. Does the main pulley free flow?

Wow that was... Significantly easier than I though it would be, Im taking the engine off of a 2005 gth2448t, and sticking onto an old dynamark frame.

Oh, and torque that bolt on the install. Most are around 50 ft. lb, check yours to be sure. Too tight and you bind the clutch and shorten the life. Zip tie slack in the cable, too.

A bit of oil or grease on the shaft and retaining bolt would be advisable

Hello, thank you for the video. My husqvarna YTH 24K54 is brand new, maybe 30 hours as I bought it Sept, 2020. This weekend, my granddaughter ran over several soft sided water hoses. I have taken off deck, cleaned all the blades from tightly woven hose wrap above the blades. Reinstalled deck, belt, got a very small lawn cut, headed to larger lawn in back yard. Went to engage blades, now sparks are flying out of pto clutch and it’s too hot to touch. Any ideas? I do believe the pto clutch has been damaged. Ugh

You’re the only person to have any video on this mower I can find. I have this exact same one. I’m having a “ going issue “. Like when I have the pedal all the way engaged, it will go fast for a few seconds and then slow down for a few seconds. Back and forth. Not really sure what to do. If you have any advice I’d greatly appreciate it.

Is the engine going fast then slow or the transaxle? If the engine, probably carburetor related. If the transaxle is the trouble, it's pricey to replace. I haven't had any luck replacing the oil in those transaxles.

While at full throttle, with the pedal engaged completely, while at max speed, will slow down for a few seconds and then pick right back up and go full speed. Carb is clean, air filter is new. Spark plugs are new.

Hi thanks for the video. So the scraping noise of the un-energized clutch, what exactly is happening in there ? Is there a bearing or something that needs replacing or what ?? I have a YTH2548XP and it does the same thing. Does this mean my clutch is on the way out ??

I have. YTA 24V28 the clutch pulley turns when pto is engaged and continues to turn when pto is disengaged. I have the blade belt removed and the pulley is turning under power weather engaged or disengaged , it is making the grinding sound when disengaged.

You could use a strap wrench on the flywheel or you could remove the spark plug and push a length of soft rope into the hole (leave a little out to remove when you're done). The rope in the cylinder will "bind up" the piston and prevent the shaft from spinning. DO NOT TURN THE KEY TO SPIN THE ENGINE WHILE THE ROPE IS IN THERE>

If your clutch has those numbers, and it came from the factory that way, I suggest that you stay with that number.

Always remove the battery when you tilt one that far back. Some PTO's are counter rotation, some are not. Got to be sure before swapping parts.

I need to replace the wires end and plug on my electric clutch that got damaged. Do you know if they sell terminals and new plug that I could crimp on the old wires? I would try and find a trashed one that I could just cut off the wires, though seems like no one sell a cheap junk one, unless you still have your old one? And, do you know if they sell just the part the electrical wire goes to where you could take it apart and just replace the coil magnet part so it's cheaper? Thanks.

And so I could use that and cut the wires, and I'd have to get some wire to make it longer and crimp it onto the clutch to replacing the bad wire/connector on the clutch. From pictures online, it looks like my plug is a black L shaped plug. Some leaves caught on fire from the exhaust and it melted the wiring harness.

@@RealManSkills From looking up the part number and looking at pictures, it looks like my clutch has a black plastic plug in an "L" shape like the one you should on the table in this video. And from looking around, I so happened to notice that the headlight wire harness uses the same exact plug. So I think I'll just buy a used headlight harness, cut the wires, and then use parallel butt connectors and connect them to the wire coming out of the clutch. As part of the wire/plug had melted from a brief fire. And then use heatshrink tubing to cover up the individual wires.

Thank you for the great video! I have a YTH 24V48 and my mower deck would not engage after some major use on heavy grass/brush. The PTO button produced a small noise but no engagement. I noticed my belt had come off the clutch pulley so I pulled the entire deck to clean etc. I rechecked the clutch/pulley without the deck but it still would not engage/rotate. Should the clutch/pulley engage without the deck in place? After watching your video, I checked the PTO clutch on my meter and had 4.8 ohms without pulling the clutch out. The PTO switch is good per the meter. The 4.8 is over your range. Could this indicate a bad PTO? My son was using the mower and got too aggressive and I think he clogged up the deck, probably causing the blades to jamb and perhaps damaged the clutch.. Any feed back would be most appreciated.

@@StrikerBait Here is a quote from a service manual regarding PTO clutches - "If the meter reads significantly above or below 4.0 amps, there may be a shorted coil, faulty switch or battery causing the problem." The OGURA PTO clutch in the video has resistance specs that range from 2.8 to 3.2 OHMS. Another quote from the service manual - "The clutch assembly should be kept free from debris buildup. Debris can act as a blanket, not allowing heat to dissipate properly. Buildup in the pulley can also cause belt slippage, increasing heat, and decreasing belt life and blade stop time." Thanks for watching.
