PTO problems

[Muley Gil]

Let's try again. My friend's newish JD 1025 is having a PTO problem. There are three positions available. All the way forward is 540, middle is 2100 & 540 and the rearmost position is 2100. When in the rearmost position, the PTO shaft is not spinning.

Thoughts/comments?

2100 RPM is mid PTO for running mid mount mower not rear PTO.

Does the mid PTO spin in the middle when both shafts should be turning?

I'll have to check with my buddy. Presently, he has the PTO cover off, trying to figure out the problem.

If checking, verify the PTO,s are working correctly in the other two lever positions. I.e. rear 540 only and both 540 & 2100 in mid position.

That should provide some information on if the shift linkage is operational for PTO selection

Is this newish enough to still be under warranty? If yes I would get the dealer involved before tearing anything apart.

If not under warranty I would look very closely at the shift lever and all the linkage to see if something is preventing it from moving fully and engaging the mid PTO only. I.e. a stick, mud, grass, etc. possibly preventing full movement.

Well, my buddy took the PTO apart & everything looked good inside. No chipped gears, nothing broken or out of place. He put it back together & the PTO works in the forward position, the mid position but not in the rear most position.

Did your buddy confirm the shifting fork movement to engage the different gears in all three positions? Sounds like a shift collar is not being moved properly to engage mid PTO only.
