Went to a plow day with my recently acquired 1030. This is the second time I've used it, the first being another plow day a few weeks ago. I replaced the clutch two weeks ago.
Warmed up the engine after arriving this morning (35 degrees and windy) and headed out to plow. About half way down the field, the engine started laboring hard, pulled down, and quit. Took it out of gear, pushed in the clutch, and tried to restart. Engine would not turn over, as in locked up. Figured I had a real problem, but after letting it sit for about 3 minutes, it fired right up, and I plowed with it till 5pm. Temp gauge was at about 185, with 40 psi oil pressure. Before this happened, the PTO would always run. After, the PTO is stopped, and I can't turn it by hand. I have never moved the PTO lever. Is there anything PTO related that would cause this? Any other ideas?
