PTO Problems JD 5300 Need Repair Manual

[bucmeister]

Guys,

I have a 5300 MFWD and it seems the PTO brake is not keeping the output shaft from turning when not engaged. As soon as I start the engine, with the PTO control lever disengaged it will start the blades on my Bush Hog 287 to spinning. If I drag it through enough tall grass/weeds disengaged it will stop turning. When the tractor fluids are still cold the blades while go back to spinning as soon as I lift the cutter, however most times after a couple hours of cutting if I slow to idle, disengage the PTO and drag through more tall stuff it will stay stopped and there seems to be a bit of drag on the, what I call "no spin" brake.

Enough back story. I have misplaced my danged repair manual CD and am wondering if anyone here happens to have one. What I am wondering is where the pto shaft brake is located and what is involved in repairing/replacing if it is not adjustable. My hope is that it is at the back end and accessible from there, however my fear is that to get to it will require splitting the case.

Can anyone offer some input or help??? Thanks in advance.

The snubber brake isn't meant to keep the PTO from turning. From your description, Check the PTO clutch lever adjustment. Otherwise splitting the case is required.

Was told that by someone else and took him at his word. Of course he is running big batwing units behind significantly larger tractors and was saying that he workers tend to burn the brakes up when they knock the pto out of gear while at high throttle speeds rather than slowing the engine down to kill the inertia.

So what is the snubber brake supposed to do if not keep the pto from turning when not engaged?

Here's a parts photo that might help.

Tx Jim,

Thanks, I had found that view on the Deere parts site. Trying to figure out what part numbers 3 and 4 are supposed to do. Looks like it might be something that is supposed to keep the shaft from free-wheeling. Even looks like the nut part #1 might be a nyloc type to control the squeeze of #3 on #4. But then I would wonder what opens that squeeze up to remove friction while the pto is engaged?

I looked at the tech. manual for my 5210 and part 3 is a Snubber. The manual says: Snubber aids in bringing the PTO shaft to a stop when the PTO clutch is disengaged.

If you can not find your tech. manual you might want to look at selectmanuals.com

Thanks for the info. Sounds like maybe my snubber is not working correctly. Thanks for the point to selectmanuals.com, will check it out. Checked on a new disc to replace the lost one, $120 for the cd. Jeepers.

JD5210, Thanks again for the link. The manual they have available is exactly what I need and at $30 is a great buy.
