PTO Lever Broke

One of the reasons I opted for a new John Deere (5203) verses used was dependability. The last thing I wanted to deal with was repairs and down time when I wanted to get out in the field. So here goes my first incident.

I�m renovating my pastures so I�m going to start by cutting with the BushHog then spraying with Roundup then no-till drill Orchardgrass. Well, I never got past the BushHoggin�. When I engaged the PTO nothing happened. It felt like the PTO lever was coming off in my hand. When I shut down to investigate, I appears the bolt that holds the pivot point arm (at the bottom of the PTO lever) has backed out. After repeated attempts to thread it back in, I pulled the bolt completely out to inspect the threads. Low and behold, the bolt was sheared off leaving most of the threaded part inside the case.

This is a very beefy bolt and the PTO lever is very flimsy! I don�t understand how this could happen. Someone please enlighten me. In the meantime, I�ll wait for the dealer to pick up the tractor as I watch the calendar tick away my fall planting window of opportunity. Is it always a race against the clock?

Can I engage the PTO another way so that it�s on all the time. Maybe I can get something done while I wait for them to pick it up. Any ideas or suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks.
