First of all , greetings from downunder .
After searching this forum I still can't quite find the answer to my Kubota's problem.
I bought my Kubota B7 100 HST 4X4 secondhand.
Since I have had it , it has always had a very slight grinding when putting the pto in for the mid mount mower.
Recently I hit a small stump and the tractor stopped , I started it again but now I can't engage the pto for the mid mount mower , there is a severe grinding and it won't engage .
I have tried dropping the revs right down as suggested on this site , but still the same.
I can engage the rear pto with no grinding , but there is nothing connected to it.
I have greased the nipple for the throwout bearing.
If I engage the pto before starting the engine all is good , but I'm guessing this is not advisable.
Another thing , when the pto is engaged and engine running , if I push the clutch pedal in , the pto stays engaged , should it disengage ?
Your help would be appreciated,
Cheers,
Greg
