I have a Kutoba that I bought during the winter. At the time the PTO engaged just fine. But now after sitting, the PTO selector shaft is stuck solid, but the linkage is all fine. Does that mean the selector shaft is bound up due to rust/corrosion, or is it often something else inside the trans? It is humid here. Thanks so much for any advice. Trying to get out there and mow but this happened.
I've been soaking the areas where the selector shaft connects to the transmission in WD-40, but don't want to cause damage from trying to work it loose if it's not just weather corrosion. Looks like there is enough gear oil in the casing. I've been at this all day. That damn shaft wont budge, I've been lightly tapping with breaker bar and trying to work back n forth with handle. Thing is nice though... If I could cut.
