    PTO not engaging in any position BX2660

    If you had any idea how much BS I have been through with this tractor you would agree with me, at least on my particular machine... It has less than 200hrs on it and I have worked on just about every single part of it that you can name. (Yes, I have even had the engine out of it.) Having been...

    PTO not engaging in any position BX2660

    They don't connect, not even close. The plug is on the opposite side of the shaft. (the test plug port is not centered on the main shaft) I have no idea what could have gotten into that tiny hole and plugged it up so well, but whatever it was it wore out 3 1/2 brand new 1mm drill bits trying...

    PTO not engaging in any position BX2660

    I just successfully drilled whatever it was out. It took 4 brand new 1mm drill bits to get through it though. It was freakin hard! I am confident that everything will work fine once I put this back together tomorrow. I will add this to the book that I need to write on why you should NOT buy a...

    PTO not engaging in any position BX2660

    OMG! That hole is tiny... a 1mm drill bit fits it perfect. It's just crazy that I can't get it to go all the way through. I will try again after dinner. Right now I am so happy that it doesn't look like I have to pull the tranny out!

    PTO not engaging in any position BX2660

    So according to the manual the small hole between the 2 O-rings IS an oil passage. I cannot even drill out this hole for whatever reason! I have a drill bit that goes down into the hole about 1/8" deep then stops and will NOT go any further, even after putting it on a hand drill. This is so...

    PTO not engaging in any position BX2660

    Is the small hole that is BETWEEN the 2 O-rings supposed to go all the way into the hole that's through the center of the shaft? Right now it is a fairly shallow hole (about 1/8" deep) that does not connect to the big hole in the center of the shaft. I cannot see how this would work without...

    PTO not engaging in any position BX2660

    Man I sure hope that is all it is! I really don't want to have to tear down the transmission! As soon as I get the chance I will notch the frame and check it out then report back to you guys. Many Thanks!

    PTO not engaging in any position BX2660

    It does not have a ball (old type), it's a tapered plug with a hole in it that looks like it seals into a seat. I can pull it back out and take a picture if you like. I probably need to look at it a little closer anyways. As for the spool valve, I cannot understand why they didn't notch the...

    PTO not engaging in any position BX2660

    Yes, the power steering is working. I pulled the pressure relief valve and everything looks fine and exactly what the wsm shows it should be. (this was never removed until now) I have not pulled the clutch spool valve. Where is this located? Is this the same thing as the PTO clutch valve...

    PTO not engaging in any position BX2660

    Just reread the manual to make sure I was correct. Here is what it says: "PTO Clutch - "Engaged" The oil from power steering controller flows into the PTO clutch valve. When the PTO clutch lever is set at the "Engaged" position, the PTO clutch valve rotates. Oil flows from the oil line through...

    PTO not engaging in any position BX2660

    Yes, the FEL and 3 point lift arms work fine. I get no fluid flow at the PTO engagement valve test port. But isn't this before the clutch? This is what supplies pressure to apply the clutch from what I understand, so if that is true, then the problem has nothing to do with the clutch. It...

    PTO not engaging in any position BX2660

    I just checked for PTO pressure on the test port that comes out of the side of the PTO valve shaft (where the selector lever attaches to) I get zero pressure. I then checked the PTO relieve valve (bottom port on the HST filter housing) Everything looks ok there. So I guess now I have to...

    LOL, yes, of course... If I were that dumb I surely wouldn't have been smart enough to find this website and post a question. :)

    PTO not engaging in any position BX2660

    So I have had so many problems with this tractor! I bought it new in 2011 and it's been one thing after another every since. The latest issue: No matter what I try, the PTO will not engage in any position (front, mid, rear). With the engine off I can select each one and manually check the...
