Which model tractor are you referring to(5210 or 6210)??

 

If you have a push/pull switch for activating the pto, that is bad. What you describe is exactly what happened to my 5075m.

 

Check for voltage at the valve that operates the PTO on the back of the machine for starters.....do you know where that’s at? Doesn’t sound like the problem tho. With the tractor off, can you spin the shaft by hand and does it make any crazy noises?

 

Thanks everybody. It was a bad coil on solenoid that operates PTO. You cant just buy the little coil anymore from mother Deere. You have to buy the whole solenoid for the sum of $400. I wish i could find a tractor salvage place to sell me a used coil.

 

I have a JD forestry machine that needed a solenoid valve priced at 400 from Deere, just happened to be at a local hydraulic place and had them look at it to make sure it was bad. They ended up getting the exact same thing for me for 60 bucks but it took a week.

 

1000% This!!! 'Mother Deere' is such a rip-off. Does anyone really think they make their own hydraulic valves?

 

I was wrong again. I can get the coil from Deere for about $94.

And the 60 dollar valve was exactly identical
