Today I took some time to look at the linkage to the PTO. Everything seemed to be free but still not much movement of the PTO lever. I said before that the boot over the actual PTO actuator (for lack of a better term, see photo) was torn. I sprayed a little PB Blaster under the boot and gradually got full movement of the lever. Looked promising so I kept engaging and disengaging the PTO and I was able to get the snap' when the PTO is engaged. The engine was off while I was doing this. I engaged it again and it stuck in the engaged position. I uncoupled the mower's PTO shaft and started the tractor and the PTO turned fine but would not disengage. Stopped the engine hooked up the mower's PTO shaft again and tried to mow some really heavy weeds and grass. No problem, no slippage of the PTO except it would not disengage. So I removed the mower from the tractor and attached my 6' Woods rototiller and rototilled about 700' of row in weedy but previously tilled soil. No problem except the PTO would not disengage.. so I have a constantly running PTO now with the only way to stop is to stop the engine. I am probably done using the PTO on this tractor for this season. Another winter project. So I guess what was happening when the PTO was slipping was that it was barely engaged. I may have some PTO clutch damage but it seems minimal. Any ideas on what could be causing the PTO not to disengage and will it do any further damage if I run it with the PTO constantly running but no equipment attatched to it?

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
