Yes. I engage the PTO at half throttle.

The strange thing is that everything was working fine for a long time. Then all of a sudden this starts happening.

I am really scratching my head on this one because the PTO clutch is newly rebuilt, the tension spring is brand new, the pulleys are running quiet, everything is straight.

When the new belts arrive I will remove the deck and check everything closely. Hopefully I will find the problem.

Thanks for the replies!
