Hi There.
I bought a ford 850 a year ago. Yesterday marked the first time i hooked up my finish mower. Everything was attached correctly. I engaged the clutch, while in Neutral, the PTO lever on the left hand side, then disengaging the clutch and mowing. Everything operated correctly. When i went to get the tractor put away, i engaged the clutch, pulled off the lever for the PTO, disengaged the clutch back into second gear and the PTO kept running. I put the tractor in neutral, left off the clutch and the PTO kept running.
Any ideas why the PTO level would not disengage the PTO after neutral? The 850 only has PTO when in gear thus begs the question what's keeping it running? There was no noise, grinding etc.
I shut down the tractor. The only time the PTO does not operate is when the foot is down on the clutch.
Thanks for any opinions etc on where to start with this.
