Massey Ferguson 8130 pto issue

[gav0994]

Got a Massey Ferguson 8130 and today the pto has stopped working. Putting slurry out this afternoon with it. Filled tanker and put out 1st load no bother. Went to fill 2nd load and the pto will run for approx. 10 seconds and then stop.

If anyone has any ideas on what to check out before we get someone out to look at it as we don't want to look daft calling an engineer out if its something simple.

pto sensor down the side of the rear center casting will be broken it senses that the gear is turning if it doesnt sense the pto gears are turning it shuts the pto down as you say it " looks " after about 10 seconds

Sounds to be the likely cause. Is it easy to get to and change?

its down the righthand side of the casting level with the pto shaft just unscrew it there is a plug about a foot up the harness just check the harness for damage first though

cheers @masseybreaker.

unrelated to the pto, you dont happen to have a good condition roof for a 6190? the one here has multiple leaks and is pretty much done.

There is a plug in the loom so you can unplug and replace the sensor, you can put an R clip in to make the circuit if you are feeling codgy.

Cheers. Will unplug and do this tomorrow to confirm if the sensor is goosed or not, but from masseybreaker's answer to the symptoms I gave it seems as if it is goosed.

To be honest with you the 81 and 61s get a lot of hate but we've got a 6180 and a 6170 they're all right but we had the same with our 6170 if you go round to the back axel then clean down the left side (passenger side) there should be a little red wire ours was disconnected so we clipped it back together and it's been alright still I think we're at some point selling both and getting a 6280 and a 6290 good luck with your 8130 though [emoji1303]

Sensor is broken, but its a strange one as its broken in 2 just where it screws into the casting, so at some point its had a knock and been cracked. The plug at the other end is also fecked with a broken wire. All fixable though!

She's a decent big tractor and this is the first bother its really had, so cant complain much.
