JD 2240 PTO problem

I recently purchased this 2240 that is set up with manually engage, 2 stage clutch, PTO. The PTO shaft does not turn when engaged and clutch is supposedly engaged. It also has a Hi/Lo hydraulic shift that enters the transmission where the live PTO would normally be located. With the tractor off, you can feel the PTO gears engage, but there is only a drag felt, like the gears running in oil. When the tractor is running the shaft can only be turned ithe a pair of pliers. It almost feels like some kind of hydraulic brake is on? I only have a an operators manual, and just recently purchased this tractor. It seems to me if the clutch were shot it would still try to turn the shaft without a load, but it does not move at all.

I returned tractor to dealer and they found the problem. It turns out it has a live PTO. someone had removed the lever and linkage, and left it engaged so it appeared to be a manual PTO. Sometime in transporting it disengaged the hydraulic clutch. They installed a lever and rebuilt the control valve box, since it would not disengage. I now have a live PTO and I am a happy farmer.

looks like you have independent p.t.o. do you have the p.t.o. lever near the left footrest? what is there between the gearshift levers?
if you really have dual stage p.t.o., the transmission pump stops when you depress the pedal all the way and you loose the hydraulics after a while. check it.

The Hi/Lo shift linkage enters transmission where the Live PTO lever would normally go. Depressing or engaging clutch makes no changes. It is supposed to be a two stage clutch, and they believe the clutch is shot. I don't know enough about it, but it seems like there should some kind of movement of the shaft even with a bad clutch. I keep thinking it is a live PTO with some other way to engage, but I can find no other levers in the manual or on the tractor. I guess I will have to haul it back over the Rockies to Denver to have them fix it. Trouble is I need to cut my hay right now while the weaters good.
