Hi all,
My wife and I recently purchased an old farmhouse on 20 acres and I have the above mentioned tractor my father-in-law gave to us. It's got a loader, mower deck, and rear grass catcher. The hour indicator reads 136 hours but I think it's closer to 400 from what is checked off in the owners manual. My father-in-law purchased it used but it looks brand new. I went to mow with it yesterday and noticed that the rear PTO does not engage. The mid PTO functions without any issue. I've tried to engage the rear PTO by itself and with the mid PTO, but nothing happens. When trying to engage just the rear PTO, absolutely nothing happens. There's no change in sound whatsoever. I'm not sure where to start in terms of troubleshooting so any help is greatly appreciate.
Thanks,
Matt
