My new 2000 JD4200, with hydrostatic drive was delivered on Monday, along with its 1999 manual, and in a matter of minutes I was confused. Two things - 1)Under the duel-SCV there is a lever, with three positions. I know what lock and unlock are for, but have no ideal why the center position is there. 2)I read in the manual, in several places. Push the main PTO lever forward to the on position. Then pull up or push down on the mid-PTO knob to engage or disengage the mid-PTO. However on the fender there is a sticker that says, to avoid transmission damage do not engage or disengage mid-PTO with main PTO in the on position. Can anyone explain? Thanks

Bunch of dopy ole labeles anyhow... The SCV lever has two lockout positions, one so that it will not move side-to-side, and the bottom position locks out all movement. If you do not have a bucket hooked up you can lock the valve out... If you use a mid-mount mower or something else you can just lock out the side-to-side. The PTO, mid mount runs off the same clutch as the rear. If you are using the mid PTO engage the lever before engaging the PTO clutch.
ENJOY THE NEW TOY!!! ....
