Purchased a clean, low use NH 3930 last month. Bushogged approx. 40 acres - no problem. Started mowing hay using a NH 450 sickle bar mower yesterday. Mowed about 14 acres and PTO quit. No noises, no clunks or knocks - just stopped. Called tractor friend and he suggested the problem might be a blown fuse. When looking for fuses (I do not have a manual) I found a switch near PTO connection. Tractor friend came by this morning and said switch needed to be in third position for mowing and I had probably burnt out the PTO clutch. Does this sound familiar to anyone? It seems to me if position of switch is that important it would have been decaled, labeled or something and new 3930 owners would be burning up clutches from coast to coast! Any ideas or help? Has anyone else experienced this problem? Needless to say, the thought of having to replace PTO clutch has not made my day. Thanks for any ideas.
