The Ford looks rough but it may still be OK. The PTO may or may not be bad. The hesitation is more likely a problem with the pump's pickup or the control valve. Mine has done that for as long as I can remember. With that said... mine is also now at the point where it needs an output shaft and a clutch rebuild... but after 7500 hours... it doesn't really owe me anything... and it did a LOT of hard PTO work it's whole life.
