Ford 4000 PTO

As Larry said, lever on right side has nothing to do with the PTO.

The PTO on/off control is a handle sticking out of the dash board to the right of the gear selector. You pull the handle out to engage the PTO and push it in to disengage it.

When you push the PTO handle in all the way does the PTO still spin strong enough to drive a heavy implement like a brush hog? If so, then the PTO cable may need adjusting.

If you do not have a service manual for that tractor get one, including the S-O-S transmission supplemental manual. Then change the fluid, adjust the bands and adjust the PTO control cable as per the procedures in the manual. That should get it to the point where the PTO will stop if it has a heavy implement connected to the PTO, but it will still probably spin with no load on it whenever the engine is running as there is no PTO brake.
What all I need for a ford 4000 sos tractor my pto cable is broken in 2. Pieces
 
Try Arthurs tractors for SOS parts. They may have what you need but I am sure it will not be cheap. Earlier in the thread you mentioned a problem that appears to be the same as the problem I have. Here is a picture of my fix. I found these collars on the internet. Drilled a few holes on both and threaded one collar. I may even have a couple of these collars in my parts bin. If I can find them they are yours for the asking.
