Mowed about an acre, pto on/off a dozen times and it didn't stick at all.

But, knowing it was stuck and likely was not well taken care of in the years before my ownership, what should I try to do re preventative maintenance here? I should note I have no idea how long this tractor was sitting in the barn before I bought the place. If the original deck was any indication, quite awhile.
LOL.. well yeah. that kind of abrupt stop can do that. Glad ya sorted it out. I would try greasing the bearing the way Sam said. You might save that pto for a few seasons
