I'm working on a '56 Moline UTS-Diesel. Oil was leaking in the brakes and Live PTO clutch.
The Live PTO clutch was seized on and I don't know if it was ever used and definitely had not been used in the last 25 years. I don't think the PTO was ever used on this wheatland tractor.
The question I have is- Does the live PTO clutch lever ever lock into the disengaged position like the main hand clutch? I have not seen, once I got it disassembled, any device to lock it disengaged.
The handle is very stiff and takes quite a bit to pull back. Is that normal? Did they use a friction fit to hold the clutch handle back and the clutch disengaged?
Was the clutch only meant for temporary use and you had to hold it disengaged?
Thanks for any info.
