The shaft turns weather the PTO handle is up or down even under a load from my haybine. When I got the tractor the low side of the torque amplifier slipped and I was told to always use the high side. Now its slipping also every once in a while but not all the time. When it slips I also loose power steering. I am thinking its starving for oil but the oil level is full with new hyguard oil. Yes I have read the manual but it dont state any trouble shooting. Does it sound like all my problems are related or do you think the PTO and high/low problems are separate? [Reply]   [No Email]

As stated on another post.When you kept operating the tractor with a known fault. Which was the high-low clutch pack bleeding off transmission oil pressure. The pto clutch oil pressure was also reduced. The pto clutch slipped until heat warped and welded the clutch together. If you had put the tractor in the shop the 1st day the high low slipped and measured transmission pressures with a gauge. The tractor would be repaired today for a couple of grand $ tops. Now because you just couldn't stop. The tractor may well cost more to repair than going out and purchasing a replacement tractor. Please don't use the words "TA" on a JD forum and infer a JD has a TA. I read the TA statement to my family. And now the wife makes me sleep on the couch, my daughter is on extended sleep over at a friends place. The boys are too embarrassed to be seen with me. And the dog refuses to come when I call him.

We slip the tractor and found that the clutch was gone and all of the diskes were wruped badly, the clutch did not slip either [Reply]  [No Email]
