1440 PTO clicks but does not engage
The bearing in the PTO on my 1440 went bad, so I ordered a used PTO off eBay. I put it on, and went to test it and it worked for about 30 seconds then stopped like I shut off the switch. Now with the tractor off, I can hear it click when I flip the switch, but the PTO does not engage with the tractor running. I adjusted the air gap to .017. The PO bypassed the original PTO switch and added another one. Just a simple on off switch with power coming from the battery, so no safety switches. It has worked fine like this for the 2 years I’ve had this tractor so I don’t think that’s the problem. It is getting 12 volts at the pto, and it is grounded. Did I get a bad PTO or what? I can send it back and get a different one, but want some opinions first.
