1020 question?

I'm not real familiar with the older utility tractors, so
this is probably a stupid question to some. I've just
got a lot more experience with full grown tractors.
I'm working on a 1020 that has a hydraulic valve
handle between the shifters. I'm told it has
something to do with thr PTO. It is supposed to
have an independent pto which I believe it does
because when you move the lever on the
transmission to turn the pto on, fully pressing the
clutch doesn't stop the pto. With the pto engaged, I
can't tell what the handle on the trans top does. Pto
doesn't stop or slow down. The tractor has been
dry but hasn't been touched for several years.
Probably 10 years. We put a new injection pump
on it yesterday and got it going. Runs good and
everything works. SCV/Lift/steering and brakes all
work good and quick. We are actually finishing a
project my Great Uncle started. He had already
rebuilt the engine. He started it one time, but it sat
so long that the injection pump seized and broke
the pump drive shaft. Anyway just need to know
how that leaver is supposed to operate. Thanks.
 
The handle between the shifters is the hydraulic valve that turns the independent PTO on and off.
 
Some of the New Gen. tractors like your 1020 had both levers for the PTO,there should also be one behind your left leg on the side of the trans. housing,the one between the high-low and shift levers is kind of a user friendly lever I wish I had on my 1020 or 1520,my neighbor has it and I like it.
 

Pto control lever by left heel when operator is seated on 1020 is a disconnect lever that should only be engaged(moved forward) with no load on pto. Yellow knob between gearshift levers can be engaged/disengaged anytime. It's possible hyd pto clutch linings are stuck/warped but IIRC pto doesn't have a brake.
 
Up is on, down is off, it is a true "live" power vs the two stage clutch version on the side by your left heel on most of the old utilities. It still has the lever on the side though to "disconnect" the Pto drive so the Pto clutch and break have no rotation going to them
 
Okay thanks, I was kinda leaning that may be the
case. So you are saying that the pto doesn't have a
brake to hold it when you turn it off with the
hydraulic valve.
 
TX the yellow knob did not come untill the 30 series. It kind of lifts up and down. The 20's had a green metal lever with a black knob that moves forward and backward. But all the operation is like you said. Tom

Thanks for correcting my mistake. It's been 30 yrs since I was a JD dealer service manager & with that fact plus my age my memory gets a little foggy sometimes.:oops:

Free parts book on the JD web site shows what goes where .
The 1020 and 1120 were very popular replacements for two cylinders around here in thier era.

IMHO parts catalogs do not show "what goes where"(location on machine). I posted 3 photos so will you please post the parts schematics with these parts included in photo you alluded to showing where these parts are located on a tractor ??? One needs to have a good idea of where some parts are located just to locate them in the PC.
Thank you,Jim
