I was hoping to get a diagnosis from someone experienced with older John Deeres. I had my daughter using a tiller on my field and she did great except for a certain patch where I can see she tilled too deep and had the tiller bouncing pretty good. Could tell by the furrowed dirt. It would die under load and when I got it going, there was a definite gear grinding noise in the transmission. It still drives and so I took the tiller back, dropped it off and drove the tractor into my shop...a total of maybe 200 yards. The PTO shift lever no longer disengages the pto, I can tell it spins free. I am assuming the main transmission is fine, but the woodruff key or some other part related to that shifter has sheared due to the jerking of the tiller. I am hoping that the "gear growling" is just that the pto is not fully engaged.
What do you think? What would it take to fix. I have a manual and it seems I got some gear pulling to do.
