Hey YT crew, heres the deal.
I was out rototilling with the Major this evening, humming right along. Suddenly the PTO stopped turning. No bangs, no clangs, no smells of clutch burning. I disengaged the PTO (at the rear, this has raised PTO option) and went to lift the attachment up thinking I broke an u joint or something and I had no hydraulics either!
Now obviously something went wrong between the clutch and the pto. This is a 57, and it does have the two stage clutch. I also hear a slight whirring with the clutch fully engaged. Not sure what that means, and it doesnt sound out of the ordinary.
Now the question is, did I finish off the clutch, or did something break? Any way I could test before tearing the whole thing apart? Another note, I do have power to the transmission, so the tractor is mobile.
