    Ford 6610 PTO will not shut off. It just slows down a little bit when disengaged.

    The owner wants it perfect! It will be fixed! I understand what you are saying.

    I wish I had your experience to draw from. -I saw him check the crank bearings and they were well within the tolerance listed in the manual. I do not remember the numbers -It is a new Oil pump (I know that does not mean not defective) The oil pressure gets low at RPMs less than 800 and after...

    I tried to stop it by wedging a 2x4 up against the shaft to see if it had force behind it.It just ground a big notch in it. The owner is going to hook a bush hog on it and see if it running it a little will help
