I have a 07 5403 with roughly 1000 hrs. When bushogging or mowing hay with a disc mower the pto will slip in thick grass. I have tightened the linkage like dealer did the first time under warranty but it only works for a short time and am almost out of adjustment. The pto shaft will also get very hot and burn your hand when ran hard a few hours. I have broken the bolt twice the lever pivots on due to the more force needed to engage the pto. Need help,is my clutch wore out already or is there an adjustment somewhere? I have had no problems out of the rest of the tractor. I know it is an economy tractor but think the design on the pto lever is very poor.
