That's not a PTO issue that's a three point issue.
The PTO is the splined shaft coming out the rear of the tractor that spins.
Do you have the WSM (aka service manual)?
It will give you info on how it works and how to trouble shoot it.

To help you get some tractor terms correct so advice can be provided.
The PTO which stands for power take off is the shaft protruding out the rear of the tractor unto which various implements needing rotation power are connected.
The lift arms are part of the 3 pt hitch assembly. The 3 comes from the fact that the tractor attaches to a rear implement in 3 places.
The 3 pt hitch is raised using hydraulic pressure but lowers by gravity.
On your machine there may be a selector which allows power to the loader or to the 3 pt hitch but not both.

Does your tractor have a separate pump on the front of the tractor for the loader?
