953 nut 55,776 #2 Posted July 18, 2019 It is likely that the mower deck or the mule drive is causing the problem rather than the PTO. Remove the belt from the PTO and turn each of the pulleys on the deck and mule drive by hand to see where the problem may be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,665 #3 Posted July 18, 2019 Does it stall the engine when the PTO stops? If not, you probably need to increase the pressure on the clutch plate. or replace the fiber disc if it is worn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynnmor 7,354 #4 Posted July 19, 2019 I wondered how the ends of the bell were wearing away on some PTOs and finally figured it out. There are some folks that run the things with the pin broken and the hoop is actually pushing the bell. Just something to check. If adjustment doesn't fix it, take a photo so we can see if we can come up with a fix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
