My '78 model 184 is having a problem maintaining engagement of the PTO when I'm mowing.
I have a new battery & the alternator was rebuilt 2 weeks ago but the PTO disengages on it's own & will often re-engage several seconds later.
I'm not sure if I have a short or if the alternator output isn't enough to maintain the PTO.
After checking the wires & connections all appear to be ok.
The alternator is putting out 12.9 to 13.0 VDC. Is this enough to maintain battery voltage?
Anyone experience this?
ALSO,
The tractor regularly jumps out of 1st gear, such as when hitting a small bump or hole.
Is there an adjustment for this?
Thanks,
Gary
