IN my recent 881D project that seems nearly complete I seem to have hit a roadblock on the PTO. Here are some of my background/symptoms. It's been a while but I think the pto shaft did work to some degree before I started the rebuild. When the pto knob was pushed in it would slow the pto shaft but it would not stop the shaft from rotating. I've never had a PTO driven implement on this tractor. I did take the tranny cover off the tranny during the rebuild to adjust the Park Safety Switch. I never removed the pto shaft cable. I have followed the SOS Manual procedure to thread the cable counterclockwise into the tranny cover that does give me the typical knob movement of about 1 1/4 ". When slowly pushing the cable in the shaft still rotates at normal speed.
When I move my 500 to 1000 pto speed lever to the neutral position the pto shaft seems to rotate at the old "off" speed. I should also let you know that I have never been able to move the Ground Speed Lever to the Ground Speed position.
Let me know if you need more info to help diagnose. Fortunately I don't need this repaired quickly but I sure like things to work the way they were designed to. ANy help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Rick
