I tried posting this in the AC forum but didn't get any response, hoping someone here can help.
My Dad's 7010 has a couple issues we are looking to address. The first is the PTO doesn't always want to disengage. When it happens the tractor must be shut down and then it is fine. It also seems harder to engage the PTO, a mechanic at the dealer he talked to said there is an o-ring that can cause these symptoms. Does this sound likely or anything else we should be looking at?
The other problem is with the power director transmission. It has been getting harder to put it in gear, mostly trying to shift into low on the range selector. Once in gear everything works fine, I am thinking it is the shift cables, does that sound likely or is there something else I should be looking at? The tractor doesn't get used a whole lot anymore, but it is used for the snowblower so we would like to get it fixed before winter!
Thanks,
John
