So any resolution to your problem? Any trick other than beating it. Reving engine or anything helpful full neutral clutch in anything worked for you? It appears the PTO high gear EPTO has something to do with it doesn't it???
I bought a used JD 5603 with ~ 800hours. New to me the PTO engaged easily smoothly but the last several times its been difficult to engage the lever. Its like the lever is binding??? I pulled the plastic knob off the lever the other day trying to pull it :-(. Don't laught I haven't looked at it yet is there anywhere to lube it or tighten the lever? Its raining and lightening now so I thought I'd check internet first.
