Just a follow up. I got it freed up. Works but still occasional binds up. Thanks for the help.

Yeah. I just got back from a little more spray and a few more taps. Hopefully it will be the issue and will break loose.

Well this is encouraging thanks. The clutch smell must have been from the mower itself. It has several drivelines and three clutch packs.

You were clear. I wasn’t. I did find it was not the entire linkage. But the lever on the control valve. It’s clean and not corroded but I still have soaker on it (2 days) in case it’s not internal. That’s interesting about cab mounts. I’ll check that out (I know for sure nothing is binding...

I understand what you are saying and I appreciate your suggestions. I’m not familiar with a pto clutch system even though I have a manual. I’m can use a manual to remove but I have to have it in my hands to figure it out. I’ve worked on truck and bulldozer clutches but not PTO. I was wondering...

As mentioned the linkage is not corroded, bent or obstructed. I’m aware turning the pto after shut down is normal. I simply added it as part of describing what still works and what doesn’t. I also have no intention of junking the tractor because pto doesn’t work. I bushog maybe twice a year. The...

Hi Harry I’m perplexed as well. The “shaft” is the pto splined shaft itself. Normally to line up the splines I have to shut the engine off and that frees up the pto enough to turn it clock and counter clock. It’s still functioning properly. And it still goes back to not being movable once the...

I’ve got a 2005 T55Da that has about 900 hours (I think it’s really a lot higher) I bought used about 5 years ago. The PTO lever is frozen… will not move the slightest bit. The linkage is not corroded, bent or obstructed. With the engine off I can turn the shaft itself by hand in almost a...

Hey, I’m having the same problem with my tc55da except it still disengages in all the gears and requires me to shut the engine off and back on for it to temporarily work. What did you find was the problem?
