Sounds like the oil in the pto unit get a little low and the planetary gears(at least one of them)which rotate on shafts inside the unit have locked up. The pto shaft then is basically running directly from the engine and you can't take it out of gear.You will quickly wear out the brake band by attempting to stop the unit by taking it out of gear, as you can tell by the lugging of the engine when you attempt to stop the pto. Park the tractor with the front wheels downhill so the transmission oil stays in the tractor when you pull the pto unit out. I fixed mine in a few hours and about $200 in parts, and I'm not a mechanic.Works fine now, and I keep it overfilled with oil.
