Replacing PTO cable on 2501 hey

[Jstevenson]

Replaced PTO cable because old cable was kinked. Now the PTO will not disengage. Not sure if bolts are situated correctly. The top end of cable is attached to movable rod by pto lever. Is the other end of the cable attached to a similar MOVABLE rod? Nothing moves where the cable connects underneath. Could something be frozen. Would an adjustment in the bolts make a difference? Thanks for any help.

Try the below attached pto wire adjustment from the workshop manual. If you need the WSM it is available free BY CLICKING HERE

When you had the cable off did you try to move the levers? Does this tractor sit out in the rain? If so it will need some lubricant at both ends of the cable. Use PB Blaster or the equivalent. WD40 is not good for this type of problem. Do not use too much pressure to force the movement. Remove the cable at the lower end and "work" both levers separately until they move freely. Also oil the new cable so it does not become frozen.

It there a way to by pass this entirely, tractor wont start now, I was able to reach down pull on the cable, holding it then starting the tractor, now it wont start at all. So much of this safey BS, I just want it to start realible and run correctly with out all these disconnects

Yes, there is a perfect way to deal with all the safety BS, sell the tractor and go buy an old non electronic tractor.

Unfortunately, that is not possible in my situation

Then quit your complaaining and fix the issue.
This can be done very easily via the WSM.
It's a maladjusted of malfunctioning saftey switch.
Simple fix
