    @Harry in Ky Your last reply you were replying to @hodge comments, not me svohio. Haha! However, I appreciate your straight-forward answers. That is why I'm posting, for anyone's thoughts and experience. Your first post to me gave me part of the answer I was looking for, which was whether...

    JD 790 Clutch Pedal Linkage Adjustment

    My question is, "Can I / Should I adjust the clutch pedal linkage range if the range between the PTO and Transmission engagement/disengagement is too large?" My Problem: So here is what I mean about my question. In a previous post I was having an issue with the PTO clutch not disengaging. What...

    JD 790 PTO Adjustment

    Well crud! 😞 That means I will not be able to use it until it's fixed. I even tried with the PTO engaged before starting and tractor won't start as a safety feature - which is good really. I could probably tackle the repair myself, but will just need to save to have it fixed. No one happen to...

    JD 790 PTO Adjustment

    @beenthere @JimRB Here is a link to the manual (see below). I couldn't find anything pertaining to that access point, but I could've missed it. You should have access. I did try Henry in KY's suggestion. (Tractor off > clutch fully depressed > PTO engaged > pipe wrench) It didn’t break loose...

    JD 790 PTO Adjustment

    I started with adjusting the free play because it was so extremely out of adjustment according to the technical manual that it may not be allowing the PTO clutch to stop spinning. I could not find anything on internal adjustments of the clutch, just the assembly and disassembly, and how it's...

    JD 790 PTO Adjustment

    I made adjustments according to the technical manual from a range of 5/8 to 7/8. I engaged the PTO with a slight grind noise which was less than before and released the pedal and it would spin. However when I depress the clutch pedal fully the PTO remains spinning. Additionally I still can't...

    JD 790 PTO Adjustment

    @beenthere I'm currently at work but I will make it a point this afternoon to answer your latter question about whether the PTO disengages with the pedal fully down. I did discover I downloaded technical manual for the 790 which I accidentally thought was actually the Operators manual. So I will...

    JD 790 PTO Adjustment

    @beenthere Thanks for the video I did watch that video but I felt that it contradicted the manual and literally says quite the opposite. So I did attach a pic of the manual as you requested. I should say the manual gives specifications on both the two and four-wheel drive tractor. This is the...

    JD 790 PTO Adjustment

    Thanks for the replies everyone! Sorry I haven't gotten back immediately. I do push the clutch all the way down and it is a four-wheel drive tractor. I made the adjustments based on the manual that came with it so I'm assuming I'm adjusting for the four-wheel drive. If I start the tractor then...
