Last winter I attempted to fix the steering shaft leak on my 1969 3400 SOS. This involved removing the PTO cable to get the tin out of the way. When reconnecting the PTO cable the connecting rod had (unknowingly) fallen out of the pilot tube on the transmission cover. So thinking my 25 turns of the cable (per the manual) and measurements thought things were ok. I could never tell when PTO engaged unless it had a load on it and it always windmilled. Sohooked the brush hog a few weeks back and nothing. Ended up removing the transmission cover and found the rod disconnected. Rod linkage to control valve is good. Feathering valve piston moves freely. Have it hooked back up correctly with proper rigging per manual and still nothing. PTO has worked and only thing done was disconnecting the cable. Transmission is shifting fine. Oil and filter changed last summer. ( Ambra multi g134)
Emailed Dave at Arthurs and talked about shortening up the cable rigging which we tried.still nothing.
Feel like Im missing something or did the pto just die over the winter?? It is the 540 single speed.
Any thoughts or tips?
Thanks in advance!
