Hi all. Just picked up a JD 1520 tractor. I need some help with the pto lever. Mine has the one with it between the two shifters. I cant get the pto shaft to stop spinning. Moving the lever in any direction isnt working . There isnt much resistance when moving It. Any advice?
 
Pto brake is probably
toast. Could come from
trying to stop a heavy
pto load like a rotary
mower. Can you stop the
pto by holding a 2 by 4
against it?
 

IIRC there is a hyd pressure test port on trans shift cover accessed by removing sheet metal cover that gearshift levers protrude through. My guess is pto control valve is malfunctioning or pto clutch disk are warped.

There is a pto shaft disconnect lever located by operator's left heel when seated on seat that can be moved to the rear to disengage the pto shaft. Engine should not be operating when engaging this lever with a load on pto shaft if live pto clutch is stuck engaged
