The Tracror’s engine starts and runs, but shuts down when the gears or PTO is engaged, I had never encountered such an error or something similar, a known mechanic suggested that the PTO might be out of order.Can anyone confirm that this is so or is the problem with something else?
The PTO usually has a clutch that has to be engaged in order for you to select the PTO rotation setting.I had such a problem on my tractor and all I needed was a small adjustment to the PTO clutch lever, so that I could disengage the gearbox from the PTO properly.
Check and adjust RIO (reverse implement option) switch near transmission, if so equipped.
