Utility vehicle and power take off control switch with reset function

DRIVE February 18, 2004
Source
A PTO switch (60) for the attachment drive of a lawn and garden tractor includes a solenoid (61) activated detent (60d) to retain the normally off switch (30) in an on position. The switch (30) includes an interlock override position for permitting a function such as mow in reverse. An interlock circuit interrupts drive to the attachment under certain conditions. Once drive is interrupted for any reason, the solenoid (61) deactivates and the switch (30) is moved to the off position so that PTO switch (30) position corresponds to attachment drive condition, even when the drive is interrupted by means other than movement of the switch (30).
