Today I took some time to look at the linkage to the PTO. Everything seemed to be free but still not much movement of the PTO lever. I said before that the boot over the actual PTO actuator (for lack of a better term, see photo) was torn. I sprayed a little PB Blaster under the boot and gradually got full movement of the lever. Looked promising so I kept engaging and disengaging the PTO and I was able to get the snap' when the PTO is engaged. The engine was off while I was doing this. I engaged it again and it stuck in the engaged position. I uncoupled the mower's PTO shaft and started the tractor and the PTO turned fine but would not disengage. Stopped the engine hooked up the mower's PTO shaft again and tried to mow some really heavy weeds and grass. No problem, no slippage of the PTO except it would not disengage. So I removed the mower from the tractor and attached my 6' Woods rototiller and rototilled about 700' of row in weedy but previously tilled soil. No problem except the PTO would not disengage.. so I have a constantly running PTO now with the only way to stop is to stop the engine. I am probably done using the PTO on this tractor for this season. Another winter project. So I guess what was happening when the PTO was slipping was that it was barely engaged. I may have some PTO clutch damage but it seems minimal. Any ideas on what could be causing the PTO not to disengage and will it do any further damage if I run it with the PTO constantly running but no equipment attatched to it?

Today's Featured Article - Trailering Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the fun things of summer and fall are the parades and tractor shows that go on across America. Many owners of tractors travel long distances to attend these shows and they usually take their restored iron along with them. Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that �quick look over� before taking it on a trip. Before hooking up to it check the tongue for proper operation. The latche
