IF the pto is a Narrow Frame style pto you will run the risk of getting the 3 finger spring hot and causing it to lose its tension and become useless, the NF style springs simply can't take much heat.
Good luck with your situation.

When theres no attachment on the tractor to create load to stop the pto from spinning it usually spins with the engine because the button itself doesnt create enough friction to stop it. All winter long while i have the plow on the pto will spin with the engine even when disengaged so i doubt my suggestion will cause much extra wear on the part.
