I have 48 8n and the PTO shaft will not stay engaged. I move the lever all the way back but I can feel that it is not engaged all the way. When I let off of the clutch it starts to spin and then it disengages itself. I did notice that the pin that holds the lever on was missing so I put a nail in the hole. Thanks Mark

Usually the reason the PTO will not stay in gear is because of a loose PTO bearing. This can be caused by a badly worn bearing, a broken snapring groove in the PTO bearing housing or the bearing retainer sleeve having moved from where it should be. Or the bearing snap ring can be dislodged.

Any movement front to back will cause it to jump out of gear.

Grasp the PTO shaft and see if you can move it in and out. If you can this is probably the problem.

The PTO coupling splines can also be worn and cause it to jump out of gear too, but not as often as the before mentioned things.

The detent is another thing to examine but it is less likely to be the problem.

Always be sure that the telescoping portion of the drive shaft is well lubricated or it can damage the PTO bearing etc.

Mark,
Maybe you could fashion a piece of wire to hold the lever engaged. Should work for ya until you can find the real problem with the shifter. That's what I do. HTH John.
