Hello Tom. If you remove the left inspection cover under the seat, where the PTO lever sits, you can feel if the shearsleeve is broken or gone off the spllines.
Have the engined stopped... !!!! No fingers in there with the engine running. The sleeve can be felt, and is supposed to have a split pin though it to keep it in position. This sleeve connects the axle shaft from the transmission with the pinion in the differential. If something happens, very hard and sudden load it is supposed to break. But, in some cases the split pin wears and can break, and the sleeve move forward and off the pinion spline and the tractor will not move. Then you have to re-fit the sleeve and fit a new split pin. But be aware, now you have 2 split pins inside your tractor, and it is supposed to be only 1 there. The broken one is most likely down in the pump or bottom of the transmission housing. So, you have to dig for it. A small magnet is not a bad tool for that. But your fingers might work too. This is what I think you shall look for first. The sleeve is about 2+ inch wide and maybe 8 inch long, something in that neighborhood. Bill
