ford 3000 pto jumping out of gear

Easy fix is a bungee cord for the handle. Proper fix is to open it up and find what's wrong and fix it. Probably the circlip popped off so the shaft is moving fore and aft allowing the collar to disengage.
 

sometimes the groove for the circlip is damaged and the rear bearing housing will need replacing.

grab the pto shaft and push in and out.. if it move more than a 1/8 inch, need to pull it and examine the housing for missing circlip.

Hint.. park the front down hill and you will not have to drain the fluid.
 
Time to actually look at it instead of worrying over it.

Any thrust play on then shaft? Check with engine off of course.
 
Thanks for the replies, I will check fo endplay tomarrow. I was thinking it was probably a bad detent in the shift assy. Im still a greenhorn when it comes to tractors, but learning fast.
