Massey 65 hydrolic issues

[Tjsmith]

Hello. I have a massey 65 diesel, the engine speed pto works when the tactoris in neutral and raises and lowers, but when i put it in gear, the pto stops and the mower drops , so basically i lose hydrolics when the pto is in engine speed and in gear, any idea why?

If you are trying to mow when the pto stops, I would suspect the pto clutch is out of adjustment or the clutch is worn and needs replacement.

The hydraulic problems will likely be gone when the pto functions properly.

Than you...It was working fine in the engine speed position and suddenly just stopped working. The pto in neutral in engine speed works, then how does putting the tractor in gear make the pto stop working and all hydrolics stop as well? I guess my question is what is the relationship between the pto and all hydrolics, is it the clutch adjustment?

The pto and the hydraulic pump use the same clutch. The tractor has a 2 stage clutch. A small clutch in the center and a much larger clutch on the outer edge. The small clutch powers your pto and hydraulics. The large clutch powers tractor motion.

Great! That makes sence and i underst. One other if you dont mind...the lever that engages the pto engages well into ground speed and neutral, but has way lots of play in it and doesn't engageunless I push it till its about in the11 o clock position .

I don't have any experience with a bad lever. Mine has always worked fine.

When you push the clutch pedal all the way down the PTO on the hydraulic pump will stop that's normal

Correct but when i let up on the clutch in gear, the pto does not engage. Its like putting it into gear turns off the pto...pto would run and turn the mower blades no problem while out of gear and clutch pedal up....but as soon as i go to put it into gear and let off clutch,no pto power

Does the tractor move when you put it in gear and let the clutch out?

 

[Tjsmith]

Yes it moves well, both in low and high. I mowed 5 acres today, in ground gear.

Grab a hold of your PTO shaft move it in and out there should be no play

 

[Tjsmith]

Okay, ill do that.Thank you

 

[Tjsmith]

The PTO is tight, does not move in and out.

 

[6 SLY PLACE]

I would have to say your PTO shifter the detent it's not holding the lever in gear

 

[6 SLY PLACE]

You could try a bungee strap on the shift lever to hold it in place

 

[Tjsmith]

Okay, thank you
