Mid PTO not coming out of gear

[Looking4new]

FWIW, If your dealer fixed whatever the original problem with the Mid PTO was, under warranty, and the same problem is occurring again, what is their reasoning as to why it's occurring? Are they attributing it to OP error, for instance, what you mentioned about possibly needing 2 instead of 1 U-joints for the lifting of the blower?

Seems to me if it's not attributable to OP error then it should be fixed again under warranty, especially since you have hardly any real time/hours on the machine. JMHO.

What part or part # is it ? Can you call and find out ?

If it was covered the first time and now it is not, what is the dealers reasoning. You don't have to argue just ask, I would be curious since I have a CK35. Maybe its not part of the 4 year section of the warranty?
Since you are not paying for tractor transport which could be about $2 per mile. I guess it might be cheeper for him to come to you and pay his travel and labor. Maybe even get a hydro fluid change out of it since you said he had to drop the fluid anyway. It's nice to see dealers making house calls.

Sounds like you have to drop the mid PTO to get at it to replace a pin. I don't believe it's that hard if you know what you're doing. Maybe next time.

Okay, the mechanic was up here yesterday and showed me firstly where the crush pin is and that was O.K. The lever from the shifter goes through the case and into a part that is on a right angle and then another right angle the other was (like a sharp right and then a left) and then ends in a button that runs in a collar and this is what shifts the PTO gear in and out. The button slipped out of the collar and that is why the PTO wouldn't come out of gear. Strangely enough the mechanic brought a whole mid mount PTO with him and replaced the whole thing under warranty. Even the Hydraulic oil he said would probably be covered. The hydraulic oil looked black where it should be a light tan colour. Yes, the 50 hour service was done. I check all the fluids every time before I fire it up and the hydraulic oil looked clean on the dip stick but it sure was black looking coming out of the tractor.
