That plastic tube is to keep you from catching your bibs, sleeves, trousers, etc by the PTO or shaft. It probably also has a short chain to keep it in place at either end. If you look at the INSIDE of the coupler that slides over the PTO shaft of the tractor, you should see a pin going across it, although may be hard to see if you don't know what are looking for. That pin needs to lock inside the groove cut around the PTO shaft about mid-way down, and I'm not talking about the 6 spline grooves cut the length of the PTO shaft. I would be talking about the one that bisects them about mid-way down. Your coupler should have a twist lock on it's end that engages and disengages that pin into that groove. Twist it one way to unlock the pin, slide the coupler over the shaft, twist it the other way to engage the locking pin - then try to slide the coupler on and off (forward and backward) to make sure is locked on.

If you engage that PTO without having that coupler locked on, you're gonna have problems that could end with deadly consequences if anyone's near that shaft.
