Deere 5301 PTO

[Frank Thompson]

How is the PTO clutch (not the clutch handle, rod, or lever) adjusted on JD 5301 PTO? In thick, but not tall, grass PTO shaft stops turning.

I'll cross post this to alt.home.repair There are a lot more posters there. Do you mean a 5103?

Call your local Mr Green man--he's got all the manuals and I've yet to see one who won't let you look at them and make copies of pertinent pages, etc., ...

Don't know about the Deere, but my simplicity is electronically activated. When my battery was dead or dieing because of my voltage regulator not working properly it would shut... if yours is similar check you electrical system.

Do you need to charge it???

Can help...

Exploded drawings online. Last I looked not all service manuals are online unfortunately.

Doesn't seem to have changed...

 clutch handle, rod, or lever) adjusted

The last PTO I had anything to do with (Not JD) was adjusted by tightening up a ring of bolts on the springs of a multiplate clutch. Similar to some motorcycles. Failed. The plates were oil contaminated & had to be replaced. Tried cleaning with petrol but that didn't work.

Yes... my apologies for typo.
