Jeff, When you adjust the IPTO on the rear unit, you should experience resistance on the hand lever engaging and disengaging. If you don't have this, the long adjusting screws (there are two) may not be in the receptacle bands. If this is the case, you have to remove the housing cover to facilitate access and reinstall. The next step would be to remove the inspection and access plate at the seasonal disconnect as you indicated you were going to do. If something is broke there, you should physically observe it. If you see nothing, start the tractor and see if the shaft and seasonal disconnect are turning. If not, the problem may be the splines on the shaft going into the clutch plate on the engine flywheel, and the splines on the clutch plate it self. This clutch plate is a component of the clutch and pressure plate assembly. When I replaced the TA in our tractor, these splines were almost worn off from years of wear and were very close to stripping out. This may (hope not!) be your situation. Also, between the seasonal disconnect and the rear unit, there is a short shaft in the transmission/axle housing with a spline and collar on each end. I doubt this is the problem, but be advised of this component. On our tractor, the spline on the IPTO power shaft where you connect the implement PTO shaft was also worn out. I replaced the entire rear unit with a serviceable one from another tractor. Everything works fine now. The pressure plate and shaft, if needed, can be purchased from Berkshire Implement in Royal Center, Indiana. Their number is 219-643-3115. If you have to dig into the tractor this far, consider turning the flywheel, replacing the entire clutch, and if your TA and TA clutch is not 100%, now is the cheapest time to repair or replace the unit. Good luck! Tom
