My 1944 Farmall M stops moving/pto while mowing.
This tractor is new to me I have only owned it a few months and this is the first time i have used it for any operation.
So far i have changed all fluids and filters
Did a valve adjustment
cleaned/rebuilt carb
Converted to a Delco 10SI Alt 1 wire
Rebuilt starter
Installed 3 point conversion with twin lift cylinders
and other general service items
I am using a JD 390 flail mower weighs approx 950 lbs
The tractor runs and drives great and i cant get it to act up while just driving the tractor. But when i shift the PTO into gear approx 5-10 minutes into mowing the tractor just stops moving and the pto stops spinning. the engine continues to runs fine.
If i disengage the pto and shift into neutral, push the clutch in a few times the tractor begins to operate normally again. I can the re engaged the PTO and mow for another 5-10 minutes before it happens again. The only thing that concerns me is that i cant get the tractor to duplicate the problem with out the PTO engaged
No change if i hold the PTO shift arm up....This seems like a clutch issue. I just cant figure out why the clutch would only act up while mowing and not during any other driving operation in any gear.
Any Ideas?
Thanks for your help.
