Update: More of the backstory here, we just had an engine rebuild on this as one of the cylinders lost compression. During the reassembly of the engine cover a wire was routed incorrectly and came in contact with the flywheel, which shredded the insulation and was causing the ground issue...

Update: It's definitely the PTO switch somehow (edit: not necessarily the switch itself but related to the electric PTO clutch system). More troubleshooting today but we did verify that it's not the seat switch or other switches. The mower will run and drive and start fine but when you engage...
