PTO in neutral lugs engine

[adamsj3]

You appear to have no appropriate topic for this problem.

In gear, the PTO seems to work fine. When I put it it neutral, with no load attached, it lugs the engine to the point of stalling when I release the clutch.
I have been using this tractor for over a year and this is NOT normal behavior.

Any thoughts from members would be appreciated.

Haven't heard this one before. Are you saying you put the pto in neutral or the gear shift in neutral?

You have to supply your topic, which you did. Are you saying the pto works fine in all 3 pto speeds, but in neutral it kills the engine?

I'm wondering if he is getting it stuck in 2 ranges, and not really getting it to the n

My thinking exactly.

PTO in neutral, in or out of gear.

There was a pull down window with topics. There was no opportunity to enter my own.

Sorry, I didn't finish the response. I was connected to a tiller when the problem appeared. I shifted to all 3 gears and back to neutral. Lugged the engine each time I went back to neutral. I had to pull the PTO linkage to drive home.

Oooo I like that one too...

I agree, something wrong in the shifting area locking it up.

 

[normde2001]

Used to have a 4 speed floor-shift Ford that would lock up the tranny when shifting from reverse to 1st gear. Would have to crawl under and bump the shift arm. A new Hurst shifter fixed it.

Ahh.. hear's the clue.

if you disconnected the external pto shaft and all was fine, mean tthe hangup is in the implement.

this data was left out!

 

[adamsj3]

I never said everything was fine. I had to disconnect the linkage to stop the tiller because it wouldn't go into neutral.

Going to have to pull something for inspection. Probably the 3 point hydraulic unit.

How about all the facts at one time and not spread out.

So far, if I'm piecing this together, pto spins correctly when in gear.
If pro is moved to n, engine binds.

You unhooked shaft so you can leave pro in gear, since out of gear it binds?

This correct?

If so, ill go with my first guess. Its not going out of gear, thus binding as the shift rail is moving to other locations. Ie, like being in 2 gears.

Old ford 4spd trannies, when worn can stick in gear, you shift to n , it stays in gear, the shift further and it binds

This is very confusing, to say the least. Here you say the prob occurs with no load. Then , I think you are saying you remove the load to get the tractor to move. What, exactly, are you disconnecting?
