How to repair pto on 2210 ?

The seat occupied switch energizes the operator presence relay. This relay allows power to the PTO clutch from the PTO switch only when energized (operator in seat).

A simple test

1.PTO switch OFF
2.Ignition switch to ON position.
3.Engine not runnjng
4.Operator in seat

Pull PTO switch. You should hear the the clutch engage with a notable pop. Then turn off PTO and it will make another pop or clunk when it disengages.

Similarly with PTO engaged, if you rise from the seat it should disengage.


Also a failed charging system may allow the engine to start and run but not provide enough current to properly engage the electric PTO clutch. With engine running check battery voltage is greater than 13VDC.

take it in for a proper repair
it is inconvient to have to continually wiggle wires to make it work and time lost is money
you habe identified the problem now tell the repair shop what they have to fix

PTO Popping Out of Gear, How to Fix ... If your PTO shift lever does not stay engaged, the problem is probably not in the PTO transmission, but rather is due to ...Missing: 4wd

Try using a lighter gear oil - some oils are thicker in really cold temps - like molasses while its warm drain it and use a lighter grade, - check the manual and go with a thinner type - ask local car parts store. sometimes the manual will give a type for colder weather. Good luck

Something that the PTO drives is defective and placing excessive load on the engine.

are you sitting in the seat or have you jumped the safety switch under the seat before you engage the PTO I believe our tractors use an electric solenoid to apply hydraulic pressure to a wet clutch inside the trans axle I would think it would be OK with your chipper I have a 450 tiller that was built for the older 400 models 425 445 455 that I now use with my 2210 If I hit a large root or stone when using it with my old 445 it would stall the tractor at full power. Now with the 2210 it will actually slip the clutch on the tiller s PTO shaft I think the correct approach would be to increase your RPM s gradually or start increasing the power just as you trip the PTO switch. You want enough RPM s to create enough hydraulic pressure to run the PTO circuit so that you don t slip the wet clutch anymore than necessary and you want the RPM s low enough so that you don t shock the mechanical systems too severely at start up
Let me know how it works

It's 90 weight gear oil but most likely the output shaft seal has been gone for a consdierable amount of time and has leaked out and is just now making noise, they don't normally make noise right away after the oil runs out. put oil up to the plug fill hole and watch if it runs out the shaft seal if it does then it will have ti be repaiered.

You should repair that PTO system before it gets worse.
Get a repair manual and fix it.
I can't explain the repair here.
Keep in mind.......everything on your tractor is easy to fix.
