PTO lever moves too far forward

The pto engage lever pushes forward with no resistance what so ever. If I remove the inspection plate, I observe a pin the seats into u-shaped saddles on both sides of the shaft. One side does not seat properly making it impossible to engage PTO. I can manipulate it with my hand and it will seat. The lever though, moves so far forward that the pin comes out again. I do not believe the clutch needs adjust as it feels right when it does engage, about 32 lbs of pressure. There are also some of teeth from the plates in the base of the frame around the inspection plate. Sounds bad.

I bought a 550 last fall that did the same thing. When I split the tractor to work on the rear end I found that the set screw had backed outand the adjustment backed off. After replacin the clutches and readjusting it works fine. I put another set screw on top for a lock. TC

Still sounds like an adjustment problem to me being as you can engage it by hand with the cover off. Some times it just takes time trial and error. I had a 1650 a couple years ago I thought I would never get right. If you adjusted it to keep the PTO from spinning while disengaged you may never get bowth. Dont worry too much if it spins a little while disengaged it usually will have no torque so long as it IS disenguaged. Check some of the past posts on this your not the first with a 550 and a pto problem. Good luck.

Is this a recent problem or did you just purchase the tractor? Did you try adjusting the linkage? You may need to adjust the clutch also. What is this on?
