1969 JD 2020 pto grinding

crknutson · Jul 9, 2020

I just bought this tractor and everything seems to work as it should but when I engaged the pto with an implement attached more than I think it should. Is this normal? When nothing is hooked up it turns on and off with no grinding. Any ideas? Thanks

Welcome to YT
I'm guessing your tractor has dual stage clutch pto. If that is correct have you checked for correct clutch pedal free travel? It's possible pto clutch is stuck to pressure plate.

Thanks nice to be on here. I don't know if it's duel stage but there is about an inch of play for the clutch petal.

If your tractor has ""no pto control lever"" between the 2 trans gearshift levers then your tractor has dual stage clutch type pto. 1'' free travel is sufficient so as I stated probably your tractor has a stuck pto clutch.

Working correctly, the operation should be as follows: I hook up the tractor to a rotary cutter, and connect the PTO. I get on the seat, with the
engine running, I push down the clutch pedal completely (as far as it can move), I move the PTO control lever int the ON position. I start to lift my
foot holding the clutch pedal and the cutter begins to turn and the engine governor changes the sound of the engine. As I give it more throttle, the
cutter can be herd whirring more loudly. I have my foot off of the clutch. I want to start mowing, so I push down the clutch about 60% of the way to
the max, and put it in gear. Then let the clutch out moderatly fast and the tractor moves forward mowing. This is about what should happen. We need
to determine what does happen. Jim
