How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?
We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :
Powershift PTO engagement problems could be from blocked hoses or fittings, bad connections or ground or the solenoid. Mechanical PTO engagement problems could originate from low air pressure, improper cable installation or back lash too tight.
If the PTO clutch is not getting power, if the clutch solenoid is defective, or if the clutch is worn out, the lawn mower blades will not engage. The PTO clutch is not repairable—if the clutch is defective, you must replace it.
PTO clutches generally overheat because of improper lubrication/greasing (both too much and too little can cause problems), excessive sideload, or a new installation. Operators are advised to reduce sideload and inspect grease levels first.
For power shift operation, when a power shift PTO is engaged, a solenoid is energized. Air or hydraulic fluid then compresses a clutch pack in the PTO. This locks the PTO output gear to the output shaft and allows work to be done. When the power shift PTO is disengaged, the solenoid de-energizes.
On a Putzmeister MR 688 series the PTO Pump/Drive switch gets its power from a fuse located in the Mack fuse block.
This operation is crucial to the overall functioning of riding mowers, and thus PTO clutch repair may need to be immediately performed on riding mower models that have a failed clutch. Fortunately, you can fix your clutch irrespective of your experience with PTO clutch installation.
Read the volts. If the battery output indicates 12.5 volts or below, charge the battery. The PTO clutch will not engage without sufficient voltage. Look for the in-line fuse between the electrical wiring harness from the lever switch to the PTO clutch assembly under the deck.
Engage the PTO switch. The clutch should have an amp draw of approximately 4.0 amps. If the meter reads significantly above or below 4.0 amps, there may be a shorted coil, faulty switch or battery causing the problem. The clutch assembly should be kept free from debris buildup.
Here are some of the main signs your clutch is starting to fail. When you press the clutch pedal, it`s spongy, sticking, vibrating or loose. There`s a squeaking or grumbling noise when the clutch pedal is pressed. You`re able to rev the engine but notice that it`s difficult to accelerate.
Pump trouble is usually characterized by increased noise, increased heat, erratic operation of cylinders, difficulty or inability to develop full output, decreased speed of cylinders or hydraulic motors, or failure of the system to work at all.
When the Power Take Off (PTO) switch is turned ON, 12 volts is sent to the PTO solenoid to engage the PTO. This sends transmission pressure to the PTO to engage. When pressure is sensed, the PTO pressure switch sends a signal (usually ground signal), to the chassis controller indicating that the PTO is engaged.
A PTO is a device (a mechanism) usually seated on the flywheel housing, which transfers power from the driveline (engine) to a secondary application. In most cases, this power transfer applies to a secondary shaft that drives a hydraulic pump, generator, air compressor, pneumatic blower, or vacuum pump.
The PTO output shaft designated as “Crnk” means that the shaft is turning the same rotation as the vehicle crankshaft. The PTO output shaft designated as “Opp” means that the shaft is turning the opposite rotation as the vehicle crankshaft.
ISO 7000 – 1664, Power take-off (PTO), direction of rotation, clockwise. Function/description : To indicate that the PTO shaft rotates clockwise.
If a belt is not tensioned properly, it will ride too loose or too tight on the pulley. A belt that`s too loose on a pulley will cause slippage, which leads to heat build up from friction. This heat will damage your rubber belts and cause the belts to crack and break.
A PTO slip clutch is a torque limiting device that, when overcome with too much torque, limits the amount of torque being transferred from the tractor to the implement. This is accomplished by, you guessed it, slipping or spinning free which allows the two sides of the PTO shaft to spin at different speeds.
Adjust the pressure by turning the valve stem with allen wrench in the hole through the spool. Screw stem up into block for more pressure and thread it down or out of block for less pressure. Do not exceed 300 PSI or you`ll damage to clutch pack.
The 540- and 1000-rpm speeds allow for standard PTO operations for higher power requirements within the constant power range.
Economy PTO allows the tractor to operate at the required 540 rpm at the PTO but with lower engine rpm, which saves fuel, reduces vibration, and reduces noise.
1. You must know the RPM you wish to operate your vehicle at while running your application. We find that most operators generally run anywhere between 1100–1300 RPM, but it can vary.
540 / 1,000 rpm as standard (up to 3,000rpm if required)
First, there should be at least a one-third overlap between the shaft and the tube. If you`re using a slip sleeve, the overlap should be approximately 3 inches. If the shaft is too long, it will bottom out and create a conflict between the tractor and the shaft.
The formula to use is: Equipment speed ÷ engine speed = PTO speed. By way of example, if the required speed for a pump is 1,000 rpm and the engine operating speed is 1,500 rpm, the percentage of PTO speed to engine speed is approximately two-thirds, or about 67 percent.
21-35 Horsepower
The compact utility tractors have PTO ( Power-take-off) which supports the implements. The spinning drive shaft permits attachments like mower, loader or backhoe to pull power from the engine to run.

How to change out an electric clutch on a cub cadet zero turn RZT50?
ANSWER : Removal is simple if you have access to an impact wrench so you can the center retaining bolt.
When re-installing anti-seize compound needs to used on the crankshaft so the new clutch assembly doesn’t seize on the shaft. To tighten the center bolt you must hold the flywheel in place by blocking it. This center bolt must be torqued to 45-55 ft fts. Also the new pto clutch needs burnishing in. Most new clutches come with instruction on this procedure.

PTO will not engage on my 0 turn Cub Cadet RZT 50. What should I check and how do I check it?
ANSWER : See if the switch is getting power to it and if it is see if the clutch is getting power. it needs 12 volts in order to engage.

I need to replace the pto clutch on my cub cadet 2160, how do I remove the outside bolt? it turns with the engine
ANSWER : Best way is to use an impact gun. second way would be to use a pipe wrench on the shaft if theres room. use some liquid wrench to loosen it up too

When you replace the pto clutch (717-04080), does it have a tight fit with a bracket or does it have a little play.
ANSWER : There shouldn’t be any play in it. This should fit snug unless you have rubber bushings on the bracket mount to help compensate the torque of the belt engaging.

On my Timecutter ss5060 it dies when I pull in the drive arms. What could be my problem?
ANSWER : If this is happening while the PTO is operating then your switch is either disconnected, bad, or the wiring to it is broken.
