Snow Mid-PTO Troubleshooting / B2782 Snow Thrower Weak Stream

Makes no sense, your PTO isn't hydraulically driven. Changing fluid and filters shouldn't have effected the PTO.

My B3030 has a hydrostatic transmission.

I cut the filters open. Nothing looked bad. There wasn't any fines, or other foreign material. The HST filter's media had a gray color to it. I plan on changing the HST fluid later.

The clutch pack (multiple steel plates and clutch disks) that drives the PTO are immersed in the hydraulic fluid.

Could the gray color be from the clutch material?

Can you post pictures of the filter media?

So I guess we don't know how this ended?
