why is the pto switch on my sears tractor burning out

This may well be to do with the diode having failed between the clutch power wires ,located down close to the clutch connector block, electric clutches can turn into a dynamo,and produce electrical current, this will then send power back up the power wire to the pto switch and burn it out, the diode is there to take this unwanted current to ground
