6340 parking brake and PTO clutch frozen ?

[hkusamdoc]

Both cables are connected to the same shaft, but on different arms. Are these frozen together or should they work independently ? Mine are frozen together, but the shaft turns against a spring which must be inside the transmission case. On the other side of the tractor a shaft also turns and pushes an adjustable rod back. To the brake?

See today's post in "clutch adjustment" for my further thoughts about the parking brake/PTO clutch situation. Help would be appreciated.

SUGGESTION TO OWNERS OF MODELS WITH THIS ARRANGEMENT OF PARKING BRAKE AND PTO CLUTCH CABLES ATTACHED TO THE SAME SHAFT

Frequently squirt oil onto this shaft and rotate the nylon bushings on both sides of the transmission case. This should keep the PTO clutch pivot arm from rusting onto the shaft, and should also help keep the parking brake arms from rusting onto the shaft in case of the need to disassemble and change the three oil seals.
