Hi there all. 16535! I have a FE35 deluxe which came with a dual stage clutch, the FE35 standard model and TE20 only had a single stage clutch, but the TE20 had a after market supplier that made a reduction gear and hand operated clutch to suit use with a rotary hoe. Johan! try and move the throttle back and forward quickly and at the same time disengage the pto lever, with the brief decrease in load on the pto and a little practice you should be able to slip the pto out of gear without interruption to the tractors forward motion and without using the clutch at all, however you will still have to use both clutch stages to start running the PTO again. DavidP! I sympathize with you, try taking shark cartilage (Glucosamine) tablets, they started to work for me after about 4 weeks and I am still taking two a day after several years. To ease the load on my knee, I installed a suspension seat on my FE35, the higher seating position ment that my leg is now straighter when pushing the pedal down and the sprung seat helps prevent aches and pains in the back also. Cheers Arthur from Tassy
