If the cable is broken at the lever end make sure the pivot in the lever that the cable goes into is not stuck or the new cable can break the first time you try to turn the PTO on. The PTO shaft should NOT turn easily by hand with the engine shut off. The brake is spring loaded, hydraulic pressure releases the brake when the clutch is applied.   [Reply]   [Send Email]

I thought I was clarifying a point. I will try again and if it causes more problems here I won't post again. If the 70 series brake is working correctly the PTO shaft is very hard to turn by hand when the tractor is not running. When the brake is worn they can be turned more easily. I know I am a little off topic here but the 90 series PTO brake is hydraulicly engaged and one should not be able to turn it while the tractor is running but the shaft turns very easy when the engine is off.   [Reply]   [Send Email]
