PTO Clutch

[big_orn]

2006 year model Zetor 6341:
When I engage the PTO handle for the clutch, nothing happens. I had someone sit in the cab and work the lever while I watched the pivot point. It's moving, but maybe not enough?
Anyone have an idea?

Thanks
Orn

Hi Orn

Had this problem on one recently. On this one the air piston was coming out but not returning to allow the clutch to drive. The problem was in the air solenoid mounted up and back a bit from the piston. On the outlet with the plastic breather there is a fine mesh filter in the hole which gets blocked, stopping the air releasing.

Thanks, ixer0, but I don't believe this setup has a cylinder in-line unless it's inside the transmission housing.
I'll look again and see, though.

I think You have an air cylinder in the linkage. Drain the compression air system to zero PSI and start the tractor with the compressor off and see if it helps. Right or wrong I normally I use the tractor with the compressor off.

I checked this afternoon and found a cylinder on the main clutch lever, but none on the PTO lever.
I also noticed that the cable in the handle appears to have an adjustment collar... or similar. But I had to leave for an event, so I couldn't dig into it further.

I got this fixed this morning. Just a simple take-up sleeve on the clutch handle in the cab. Working like a charm now.
