I have an ongoing love hate relationship with this bone shaker. I've had the rototiller (39") on it almost since I bought it, and I think it was off once to try to blade the driveway with a 6 foot snow blade -- an amusing exercise, as the tractor moved to the left as much as the blade moved to the right.
Anyway: Last summer when rototilling the PTO jumped out of gear in the mid speed setting. (The lever has 5 dedents with slow, neutral, medium neutral fast.) Tractor gear is 1L.
It seems to be load related. E.g. it will run ok, until I hit a slightly harder spot. I'm not torturing the poor thing. This is land that I ploughed and disked first.
Runs fine in low speed -- but that means about three passes.
Runs fine in high speed -- but that means that if I don't put in the clutch to regain revs, I stall in about 3 feet.
What should I start to look for? I've got 10 weeks to solve the problem.
If you want I'll go take pix of everything, and shove them up to flickr, or post here.
