Weifang CP 504 with shuttle shift, PTO popping out of gear

[catmanjan]

Hello I am trying to fix a "PTO popping out of gear" issue whereby the PTO will stop spinning as the lever kicks back to "off"

If I hold the PTO lever down it will stay engaged, but I can't seem to adjust the lever detents so that they will hold.

I am about to remove the linkage housing so I can have a look at the slip collar mechanism if anything is amiss.

Is there anything else worth checking before I do so? I do not think I have a dual stage clutch, and there is a strong spring holding the clutch in disengaged position so there is no way for me to introduce freeplay

Just an update, the shift fork, shaft and PTO coupling were destroyed by the previous owner ignoring the fact that the PTO clutch wasn't working

I ordered new parts direct from the dealer, cost around 200 USD with air mail, was quite a bit of work to get it all back together but overall not too bad.

Now to fix the PTO clutch...
