Hello! I am new to the site and new to older tractors (or any tractor for that matter) and I'm happy there are forums for older tractors here.
Q: Does anyone have an idea as to why my PTO whines when disengaged? With PTO engaged it runs fine with no noise - but I fear just running it all the time would rob power, wear prematurely and is unsafe with the shaft spinning all the time.
This has been the case since I got the tractor. Recently drained flushed and replaced fluids on transmission, PTO drive and PTO housing as the fluid was badly emulsified.
Any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks!
