Looks like they only made the 1515 for one year 2002. No idea what the PTO issue is but my guess is a safety switch. Maybe related to the fact that it works in reverse. Trans service is a PITA on this type of tractor. You pretty much need to pull it out of the tractor to get at it. Deck sounds like the bearings are on the way out in your vid. You may be $$$ ahead if you sell it for what you have in it and look for something a little more heavy duty like a 2165 or 2185, you can find them cheap. $200 -$600.
