PTO clutch adjustment on a 720

[chas036]

I replaced the pto clutch plates on my 720 and adjusted them as directed before reassembling. and filled the housing with regular 10 wt oil. With the tractor running and the clutch disengaged, I could not get it to stop no matter how much I pushed on the foot pedal. After I turned off the tractor, I checked the adjustment rod with the foot pedal in the locked position and it was showing one land with one groove and 1/2 land. With the foot pedal not locked in, I was showing one land, one groove and one full land.

Now engaging the clutch I show land, groove, land, groove, land. Three lands and two grooves. Do I have to do any adjustment?

How do I get the clutch to stop turning when I have it disengaged?

What type of oil should I use? The 10 wt was just ordinary car oil.

You might need to adjust the rod length that connects the pedal to the clutch lever. On my 730, I had to shorten it as far as it would go to get the clutch brake to work and make the PTO stop spinning when disengaged.
Also, while you were rebuilding the PTO, did you replace the oil seal that keeps the transmission oil from seeping into the PTO housing? If you are getting thick oil from there into the PTO area, that thick oil can make it keep spinning.

I replaced the seal, I try shorting the pedal rod and that worked,,,now the pto stops when disengaged . Thanks for the advice
