I've got a simple operator question that seems to be baffling me. How do you engage the PTO? With the tractor running and the clutch depressed I pulled the PTO lever up to the 540 RPM setting and I hear loud grinding noises.
Background: We bough the tractor used a year ago and the clutch needed repair work, at the time the mechanic said I also needed a new PTO disc. I have only used it with the backhoe attached until the rim on my 9N rusted out last month. I am familiar with operating the single transmission/PTO but obviously do not want to experiment with grinding gears!
I've tried it with my shuttle shifter/gear selector in neutral with the same result as before, and this tractor won't let you startup with the clutch engaged (must safer than the 9N)
As was mentioned in another post, with the backhoe attached the PTO would spin slightly but after hooking up my bushhog it does not spin when driving around.
Thanks for any clue on what I'm missing.
