My son has an old JD302. It started its life as a construction grade back hoe.
The loader and the back hoe were remove before my son acquired it. The pto works fine except you can not engage it with the engine running. If you try you hear grinding noise. So it has to be engaged with the engine off, which prevents starting with his brush hoe attached due to the load of the cutter.
I believe it has a two stage clutch. Clutch works fine between the engine and the transmission.
It seems to me that the clutch does not disengage the pto.
This did work when he bought it.
Ideas?
