The front/mid-rear/rear PTO selector lever has always been extremely difficult to move from one position to another. Its so bad is almost bends the lever and moves the entire lever assembly to the right of the driver set.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

This came up before some time ago. I believe it was KENNYD who posted a diagram of the mechanism along with a solution which is to loosen the bolt/nut holding the assembly together. Try a search on the topic. Might also try a shot of WD40 or equivalent.

BUT.....Acolar has a Cab machine, which has a cable operated selector..I personally dont have the Mid-PTO, but from my analysis on how they install & operate, I'd check the cable itself...IMO the most likely culprit may be a kinked cable....or an impropery lubricated cable:

Will check the cable - we expect rain Wednesday so its a good time to do some work on the machines.

Appreciate you sharing your thoughts and manual photos.
