Does the tractor have to be split? Can it be accessed with the rockarm cover off?

Unfortunately, that did not help. The lever is still stuck engaged

Thank you both for the reply. I never got an email notification showing that I had a response. I do not have a mid pto, it is rear only and I am away from home for a few weeks. Is cap 5 in the picture on the side of the tractor or inside Thank you so much!

Good afternoon, I was using my 1970s john deere 301 with a post hole digger and after a few holes, when I went to disengage the PTO, the lever is stuck engaged and won't budge. Pressing in the clutch disengaged the pto, but I can not get the lever to disengage. I have tried to disengage...

I have a base model john deere 301 and I'm wanting to add 1 or 2 rear controls. I'm leaning towards an aftermarket valve and was hoping for some suggestions. I'm also wanting to confirm how to plumb it. I know it's a closed center system and the return line goes to the filter and have ordered...

Good morning. This is my 1st post and I am new to tractors. I recently purchased a 70s JD 301. Has been working really well until yesterday. I'm a decent home mechanic and am mechanically inclined. My issue is I was running my tractor yesterday and had been cutting some brush. I went to raise...
