It sounds like you don"t have an operator"s manual for this tractor. Please get one, for the sake of your tractor, others and yourself. ALL PTO"s on ALL tractors should be in neutral when not needed. BUT...if your tractor has a PTO SHIFT lever PLUS a PTO hand CLUTCH lever, the PTO CLUTCH needs to be ENGAGED at all times except when the pto is being shifted.
If your PTO clutch is operated by a hand lever, you probably have to pull it up (or back) against a heavy spring load (RELEASE levers in the clutch pack) to disengage it (RELEASE it). This heavy load is carried by the RELEASE bearing (throw-out bearing) at one point, and the thrust-bearing/crankshaft-interface at the other. So you can see that the crankshaft, thrust bearing and RELEASE bearing WILL be damaged by leaving this lever in the loaded, up, back, RELEASED (clutch disengaged) position while using the tractor. Expensive!

The warm glow of yellowish light can be seen for quite some distance at dusk, and
