Hi All,
Just purchased a MF35. The previous owner said that the PTO would not engage, so I got it at (I think) a good deal. Well, I got it home and started tinkering around and found that I was able to engage and use the PTO to bush hog with the lever in the "Ground" position. However, I cannot get the lever to move to the "Engine" position. Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this? I went through and checked all fluid levels and had to add just a little to the gear box to bring it up to the full mark on the dipstick (right side under seat). I haven't removed the plate where the PTO lever is located because I ran out of daylight. Hopefully someone can tell me what to look for.
BTW, this site is awesome. Almost didn't buy it because the shifter got stuck in reverse, but a quick search here turned up how to fix, and it worked like a charm. Thanks so much to all those who help us newbies with our dumb and often repeated questions.
Thanks
