I am curious how this independent PTO works. I thought that I needed to keep the engine speed at 1800 rpm to have the PTO spin at 540 rpm. That seems to be what the decals indicate on the tractor. I am reading the repair manual and it says "reduction gearing in front end of transmission housing provides a constant running pto clutch input shaft speed of 540 rpm."
Is the PTO connected directly to the transmission or is there a hydraulic pump inside that drives the PTO?
Tractor is a Ford 4600 SU. I am going to look for the source of a fluid leak around the PTO. I think I buggered a seal somewhere being rough with the brush mower.
 
Independent PTO means it is independent of the clutch.
Clutch in, clutch out has no bearing on the pto like Live or transmission PTO do.
Independent pto does Not mean it is independent of Engine rpm.
Your SU is making 540 pto speed at about 1850 rpm.
If you are just tooling around at 925 rpm you're only making half of "pto speed".
