Ford 3000 PTO problems

[Deere Ohio]

I have a Ford 3000 that is having PTO problems. The PTO runs constantly unless I push in the clutch pedal, then it will stop. Can this be a linkage problem with the PTO engagment lever or is it likly to be a more serious problem? I hope it is not a clutch pack in the rear end. I never got inside of one of these. What am I apt to be looking for? Thanks

If it stops when you push the clutch in, then I'd say it's a problem with the PTO lever/coupling.
You can pull the left hand access plate for a peek, or if you intend to fix it just pull the lift cover off to get a good look at what's going on.
Since you say it has a clutch, I'm assuming the tractor is a gear drive, hence there is no clutch pack. Just a simple sliding coupler. It might be as simple as the lever disconnected from the coupler...

I agree it could be a linkage problem. I intend to pull off the left side cover and see. I will keep you posted as to what I find. Thanks Rod!
