IPTO always running

Just hauled home a 300 utility in some kind of nice shape except the PTO is always running. Starts great even after getting dragged three hours on an open trailer in the cold but I imagine if I had the baler or such on the back it might be a little harder to start with the PTO going. Not real familiar with IPTO and wondering what would cause this. The control arm seems to have full range. Just curious while I wait for some manuals.
 
It may be just turning, not powering the shaft. If it is a no TA transmission driven PTO, the linkage is broken inside easy repair. Assuming it has the band type IPTO,and the lever is not bent or linkage out of spec.
There is a mark on the lever base (manual)
that is midway from locked on, to locked off with the button on the handle. If you cannot find the marks, measure the lever travel and put it at 1/2 way.
In this position, adjust the bands (seperately) (under the little peanut shaped cover on the top)
until each is tight enough to prevent rotating the shaft by hand with a channel lock pliers. Then loosen each about one half turn. This will (should) make it free to turn by hand. It should also make it drive, and brake correctly. Make sure you click the lever latch in either position. Running it W/O latching will cause slipping. Linkage slipping, and bent rods are also issues to watch for. Good luck. Jim
 
Thanks Jim, as usual an impressive grasp of the situation from a rather poor description of the trouble. I agree, it could be it is just rolling over and would stop under load but I see that little cover you are talking about and will get after that as soon as time presents itself to do so. You have put my mind at rest. Sounds like a simple adjustment!
