I have a 1993 Massey Ferguson 231 with right around 1800 hard hours on it. My problem is that the PTO has started disengaging itself while in use. It is not a violent disengage, but it seems to just very gently slip out of gear. I have been using a bungy cord with very little pressure to hold it engaged and this seems to work just fine.
My question is...
What is my problem? Is there a detent inside the case that is worn out or is it a larger issue? How hard of a fix is it? Is it better to keep using it as is with my bungy cord or will the problem get progressively worse and the bungy become ineffective?
I don't really want to spend any major money on the tractor.
