Could it be that the parking brake was engaged when you pulled the PTO switch? I have a Kubota and Scag but use the Kubota most of the time so I can't remember on that. Sounds stupid but I have sat on these things for an hour just to realize the seat switch or a fuse was blown!
Bro I have a Scag Cub cadet same thing happened was out cutting starts and runs fine but when I pull up my yellow button my deck does not engage did you ever find out how to fix that?
It was the PTO clutch the second time. The clutch should be adjusted periodically for maintenance purposes. I believe the gap should be around 15 thousands of an inch. Just youtube some videos on how to adjust a PTO clutch. Maybe others can correct me if the gap i mentioned is incorrect.

Just happened to ours. If you kill the blade at full throttle it sometimes pulls the belt off the clutch. A 2min fix
