Welcome to TBN

-Does the yellow PTO light on the dash light up when the button is pulled up?
-Does the lever that selects rear and/or front PTO move smoothly?

The PTO is electric-over-hydraulic, so there is a solenoid on the transmission that gets energized for PTO operation. You will need to find this solenoid and make sure it's getting power.

Well the lever is stuck. It looks like it is in the rear pto position. I pulled the switch on the dash up and down but did not see anything light up?

You will need to do the electrical test I listed above...Have you checked the fuses?

I have a TYM, so admittedly a completely different tractor. When I first got my tractor my PTO lever also once got stuck. By first engaging the PTO I was able to move the PTO selector lever. Grinded a bit, but was able to un jam the selector lever.

Probably at least worth a shot.

Good luck.

OK, I have not found the solenoid yet. I will look for it in the morning. The tractor is in my grandpaws shop. I only saw a small box with 4 fuses in it by the engine compartment. I took a test light and put it on the top of each fuse. One did not have fire on either side but the fuse did not look bad.

Also, I did try to move the lever with the pto switch in the up and down position. Thanks

These are for a 2305 which may be similar to yours.

I have a 2210 as well, and I don't believe there is any light for when the PTO engages - at least not that I know of. I hope the problem is minor/inexpensive.

I think I have big problems. I took off the cover and parts of that housing were busted off. I guess I will have to buy a brand new housing. Any ideas on the cheapest place to get one?

I think I need part # LVA802797. I think its called transaxle housing. Local JD place wants $1700 + shipping.
