Well, I've entered one of the 5th realms of repair rules - if you fart around with it enough the issue will go away. I can get the rear to spin without the MMM engaging. If I move the shift handle just a tad it will make the grind sound but no bad sounds while engaged so probably a linkage...
So I played with it this morning and it certainly moves freely. The image below is the operative connector on the transmission that moves with the PTO choice lever between MMM, both or rear PTO. The image shown is MMM. I do not see any missing rods for the stub shown with an open pin open.
Obviously not a common condition....story of my life. I'll just use the belly mower until I figure this one out to stop spinning both under and rear blades.
I purchased a Dirty Hand Tools PHD a few years ago for my BX25 and it works great with my LX2610 as well. Its been several years but $449 delivered to my home via Amazon was probably the best implement I've ever purchased.

My BX25 used to overheat regularly in the early fall when all the dry grass would clog just 20% of the screen filter which was enough to impede the flow of air to flip the temp light. Keeping the screen clean and a low pressure power washer on the radiator seem to keep mine in check. The...
I have 2023 LX2610HSD with mid mower mount w/RCK60-30BB that I used bi-weekly to mow trails. Every couple of months I'll mow my pasture and hook up my bush hog. Yesterday, when I attempted to use the bush hog I could not get the MMM to stop engaging so it was running both. It has never done...
I hear ya'll on the valve issues. I've built some jewels over the years. My pounder nor the pressure gauge is working even when the valve is not part of the equation. I hear you on the BH77 test...I think I know the outcome already.
I did not put the BH on as I had some mowing duties today. That is one item that was handy on the BX as you could mow with the BH on. I used it a few weeks ago without any issues which makes the zero test gauge and pounder even more perplexing. I do want to try the return line from the BH...
You bring up a great point...where does the supply line originate and terminate. Tracing the rear male supply line goes to the bottom right junction in the photo below. This junction also controls my 3rd function and FEL ops. The return female routes into the top of the tranny via stainless...
It only has 20 hrs on it and runs great now and before just when I go to setup the pounder is where the problem comes into play. The valve setup is only used for the pounder.
When the supply line is hooked directly back into tractor all systems work great (FEL, HST, grapple, etc.) and my BH works fine when its connected. Later today I'll hook up the BH and place the tester on the return side of it to see what the tester reads.
My thoughts exactly. I thought I had an issue with my valve buildout until I bypassed it and the issue remained. The tester was suppose to show me the problem was in the Kencove valve but when the tester showed a zero I went to the forum as I'm clueless. I still believe its an issue with these...
