Just picked up this M-TA and the PTO won't engage. Adjusted the bands as shown in the manual but still won't engage. The shaft manually free wheels with the handle pulled all the way back. The rear band adjusting screw is screwed in quite a bit more than the forward one.
Do you think the band is worn out, if so how much work is it to remove and replace or repair them? I checked the seasonal disconnect and moved it and no difference. Strange thing... Is the seasonal disconnect bolt also supposed to be a drain plug? It is on this one, and the fluid looks pretty bad, all milky looking. Also is Hy-Tran the fluid of choice for everything but the engine?
I'm new to all this and appreciate any help you can offer. Pictures of the M-TA at the link below.
