[AT] Ford Powermaster

[Mike Meulenberg]

Ralph, that was happening on my Massey 255 as well, had to shut it off to get the PTO engaged. All I had to do was adjust the freeplay in the clutch mechanism. Works perfectly now. It was something to do with a two stage clutch.

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.
