MF 1240 PTO

[BFGILLIS]

Hello everyone. I'm new to the board.

I have a MF 1240 and when I first start it and engage the PTO the shaft spins for less than a minute and stops. It won't spin again until the tractor has set for a day.

Anyone know what might be causing this?

I haven't started trouble shooting yet and hoped somebody could get me looking in the right area.

Thanks
