Kubota BX24 PTO lever stuck

offcamber · Dec 30, 2021

2008 model, I never use the PTO. I have no implements that use the PTO. I am the original owner. Went to go start the tractor and it does not turn over. Acts like one of the safety switches is not engaged. I notice the PTO lever is the middle. Not sure how it got there. It won't move forward or back. Feel likes its binding. A few years ago I did adjust the safety switch since I had a random no start situation. No issues with it since that adjustment. All other levers move freely. Anything I can check before I have the dealer come get it for repair? I plan to pull the left rear wheel to see if there is anything obvious.

Any advice it appreciated.

Thanks

On my BX1850 it once had a rock and some mud that jammed the PTO lever. Took a little digging with a screw driver to get the mud and rock out of the linkage but worked fine after that.

99% certain that I removed the left tire to gain better access but I think I could see the problem with the tire on the tractor.
