PTO switch does not engage mower blade on JD LX173

[desiglass]

While cutting my lawn this evening the blade just stopped. Tractor starts
and runs fine, but mower blades will not engage. Anyone have any thoughts
as to the cause? Thank you.

Do we have to guess what the details are ? Should I assume it has an
electric PTO clutch and you haven't check the wires to see if one fell off
the switch ?

I'm sorry. Yes, it's an electric PTO. I did look behind the switch and
there does not appear to be any loose wires.
Thank you.
