Customer Question

I have an old...

I have an old m8030d kabota tractor. My PTO hand lever with the electric switch won't disengage the PTO to my sprayer.

Mechanic's Assistant: Sometimes things that you think will be really complicated end up being easy to fix. The Heavy Equipment Mechanic I'm going to connect you with knows all the tricks and shortcuts.

Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing this yourself? What have you tried so far?

Adjusted the PTO linkage. The lever that goes into the gear case seems to just wobble back and forth

Mechanic: Curtis B., Technician replied 3 years ago

Does the lever feel like it is shifting, or has the lever come off the fork? Looks like you are going to have to take the rear housing off! See link below.

The PTO will engage manually. It's when I use the long lever on the left side to disengage it keeps turning.I don't hear well on the phone

Mechanic: Curtis B., Technician replied 3 years ago

Is the lever on the left side moving the lever full travel where you can manually shift it? Linkage isn't just loose?

Customer reply replied 3 years ago

The PTO on and off lever below works fine. It's the upper PTO lever that turns it on and off while using the sprayer.

Mechanic: Curtis B., Technician replied 3 years ago

It only has one pto, I'm confused as to why one works, and the other doesn't?

Customer reply replied 3 years ago

The main PTO lever engages the PTO. It has an auxiliary lever up higher to operate it while you spray do you don't have to stop to turn it on and off it has linkage right next to the clutch linkage going into the transmission case. Are you familiar with the m8030 ft model?M8030 dt

Mechanic: Curtis B., Technician replied 3 years ago

D or FT? No, let me opt-out, and see if anyone else will reply.
