I would appreciate any help that would help me solve or steer me in the right direction with this problem. I have a 1982 384 International tractor that I'm having an issue with the PTO struggles (sounds very rough when trying to engage when I have my bush hog connected). PTO will not go into gear easy when the bush hog shaft is connected to the pto shaft. Without pto and bush hog connected pto will engage and get faster with the increase in rpm's, I'm assuming that the pto is working. I can turn the pto shaft by hand engaged or not engaged, is this normal? The bush is an old one, I don't know the model or make, it came with another tractor that I bought a while back. The gearbox shaft rotates freely when I turn it by hand, didn't detach any binding. The owner of this bush hog did a lot of home made modifications, It has a home made shaft that I notice has a lot of lose play when it's connected to the tractor pto and bush hog gearbox. Any help will be helpful.
