I have a Troy Bilt 54" riding mower whose mower motor won't start. The engine works fine, but when you try to start the blades they won't turn. My thought is a fuse, and I can see what looks like it might be one right under the switch, but I can't get my hands in there to pull it. Is there an easy way to get it out?

Hi,
Are trying to get at with the hood open? Usually they accessible that way. Do be aware that common failure points with electric PTOs is a wire to the clutch inside the right frame and the PTO switch itself.
Peace,
