Ford 2000 PTO will not engage

I just sold a 67 2000. PTO worked great. you had to push in clutch to engage lever. PTO comes on when you let out clutch. I would pull that side plate and check out the engaging mechanism.

Need more info.
Which transmission does it have - 4,6 or 8 speed? Does it have live? or transmission pto?
Have you owned the tractor for a while and it worked before? Then just quit or got progressively worse?
Tractor is new to you and it never worked?
Grinds so you can't get it in gear? Goes into gear but doesn't gave any power?
 
8 speed tranny
Two stage clutch
New to me tractor, never worked.
No grinding, lever moves to engage but PTO shaft does not turn at all.

Thank you.
 
(quoted from post at 06:52:17 11/02/22) I have a ford 2000 3-cyl and the PTO will not engage.



Is this a clutch issue.



Thank you.
If you shut the tractor off will the PTO lever engage and then when you start it does the PTO operate? If so it sounds like my tractor which has a 2 stage clutch and the PTO clutch won't disengage.
 
Ok, with the lever in the off position I can turn the PTO by hand freely. With the lever engaged I can feel a difference in how the PTO shaft turns, like it is linked to another shaft and turns by hand almost as freely but with some resistance.

I need to pull the lift cover anyway since the lift arms wont lift all the way. Will I be able to see much down thru the top?

Thank you.
 
Your description of slightly more drag on the shaft makes me think it's the PTO clutch hub stripped clean of splines.
Also, if you are going to do any work on the hydraulic lift system, you better order your factory service manual.
