The Cub that I would like to be the mowing tractor has a problem with the PTO disengaging. It engages just fine, but when you try to disengage it, it doesn't want to come out. I had to push on the lever real hard and then it finally disengaged. Clutch was in and PTO stopped, the lever just didn't want to disengage it. I'd like to solve this before I put the mower on, because there will be alot of PTO off-on of course. I'm also worried about it not disengaging at all sometime, so I've only tried it once.
I did a search, but I only found posts for the opposite problem, PTOs that won't stay engaged.

Another guess... Have you tried backing the pulley up slightly to take the load off the splines?

My last uninformed guess... Maybe the set screw that's only intended to keep the clutch sleeve from falling off is snugged down?

Trent,
Pulling the PTO out is easy, putting it back is only slightly more difficult. Removing the shifter cover won't tell you anything.
If in your predicament, I'd definitely pull the PTO and see what was up. Regardless of what you find, "while you have it out", I'd replace the bearing, seal and pilot bushing. None of these parts are overly expensive and relatively easy to remove and install, if you have access to a press.
