[AT] Ford Powermaster

[charlie hill]

Ralph I know that many of the Ford tractors use that two stage clutch.  Not 
sure about that one.
If I remember right pushing it down part way allows you to change gears and 
leaves you with live PTO.
To engage and disengage the PTO you have to push the pedal all the way down 
where it has a clutch brake.
I think that's the same thing you were saying.

Not mine, but a local guy bought a 1963 Ford Powermaster gas tractor
early this winter . It has front end loader, and a three point mounted
snowblower. I guess everything worked fine til he got into snowblowing .
Now the pto seems to grind the gears any time he tries to engage it. Has
to shut the engine off to engage pto and then re start. I have not seen
the tractor but wondering if they had the two stage clutch pedal which
would dis engage the pto when half depressed, and then stop forward
motion when the clutch pedal is pushed all the way. Thats how my Massey
Super 90 works . I'm wondering if this guy's Ford just needs an
adjustment on the clutch linkage.
Probably not nearly enough information for anybody to help with but
thought I'd make an inquiry here in case anybody else has a similar
tractor.
