Mowing B3030 rear PTO slipping

Here's the exploded view in the event it helps your understanding.

Very happy update to this issue. Turns out my shift lever and PTO lever were colliding (somehow I bent one of them), causing the PTO to not fully engage.

Dealer had to take cab off to diagnose, which wasn't cheap, but **** of a lot cheaper than I feared!

Tractor now works like new (just in time for 2 feet of snow).

Thanks so much for the detailed suggestions.

Be gentle with those levers!

Thanks for posting the root cause, even if it was a bit delayed.

The delay was actually in me getting the courage up to find out how much this would cost to fix - actually posted it soon after the repair
