Fired up the MF50 diesel this morning to do a little bush hogging and when I went to engage the PTO - nothing but grinding. Never had this problem before. Question is - is this a clutch adjustment or something more severe?
I thought maybe the tranny oil was just cold and allowing everything to spin a bit with the clutch pushed in. So I stopped the engine, engaged the PTO, started it and went about mowing for a few hours. Got done, everything is warmed-up (including me... ) and tried the PTO again - same deal, grinding and no slowing down of the gears.
What do you think the problem is and the potential fix?
Thanks!
