Jd 2950 pto handle will not stay engaged

SOURCE: JD 6400 tractor, PTO light flashes when engaged

The most likely problem is the pto solenoid valve on the rear of the tractor.It could be the speed sensor but you won't know until you get the codes read by the dealer.I have had to replace the b.c.u. for this problem but it is not common.

SOURCE: PTO CONTROLS. How do you engage and disengage PTO.

The tractor is not a 6300 is it.If it' not you need to adjust the cable for the p.t.o. until it will stay down.Don't turn the turnbuckle too much at a time because there is a fine line between the won't engage and the won,t disengage adjustment.

I used a neighbors 420 while mowing and there were times that I tried to restart the blades after turning them off for a bit. I found, I think, that you had to have the brake depressed to make them turn back on.

The pto brake is either worn out or you have no presure to it when the pto is turned off,most likely the pto brake is worn out.

There is either a yellow toggle switch or a yellow knob type switch on the dash panel that will engage your deck unless some of the safety switches are stopping it from working due to an adjustment problem or a defective switch,let me know if you need more help.
