Pto clutch going out? maybe scrutinize the wiring to make sure it is not busted
Mower Deck Blades Disengage
I have a Deere Z737 with 444 hours. The blades stopped turning today as I was mowing. The engine runs fine and the mower handles well. When I engage the blades they turn for 15-30 seconds and then stop turning. It does not affect the engine and I can still drive it. Suggestions?

If the PTO Clutch was going out would it leak oil?
the clutch itself would not leak oil. The clutch is a magnetic engaged clutch, similar to a automotive air conditioner clutch, and is a seperate unit from the engine. But, there is a oil seal directly above it on the engine.
Is there any unusual noises before the blades stop? Is the belt or any pulleys hot? Could be a failing idler pulley or spindle bearings. Check the PTO and seat switch operation.
Thanks for the suggestions. I found a guy who wanted to buy it and got a good price so sold it and bought a Z920M. I'd had it 19 years and so was ready for another one.
