D17- 3 point hitch

Just got a D17 with 3 point hitch and will only lift if the clutch is engaged. Is this normal or is there something I'm missing to make the lift live whether the clutch is engaged or not? It reminds me of the older Ford N series tractors.
 
Thats what the power director clutch is for. Nothing works on a D17 when your foot is on the clutch.

Thank you all for your replies...I have a 504 Farmall /International that has a torque amplifier which drops about 1/2 gear, giving the tractor a slower ground speed and more power. I thought that was the same thing on the D17 because it also dropped about 1/2 gear. So, you're saying by using the "hand clutch", I will then have live PTO and 3 point hitch ????? Thanks, gregjo1948
 
The power director acts similar to a TA for speed, but has a neutral in between. Note, you can slip the power director in high or low. Its a 2 speed oil bath clutch setup. Solid as a rock vs the somewhat unreliable and failure prone TA.

If using the pto, depress the foot clutch, put the hand clutch in natural, engage the pto, and put the trans I what ever gear you want, then let up on the foot clutch which will make the pto turn, then take off using the hand clutch in either lo or hi, just remember when you want to stop, and keep the pto running, use the hand clutch. And don't ever grind the gears in the trans.
