My 790 came in May short the mid-pto, four weeks ago the dealer came by took it back to the shop and installed the mid-pto. After returning it, there was a clicking sound coming from the rear end. It would stop if I put the clutch all the way down, or when I would engage the mid-pto.
The dealer has had it for about 3 weeks now, apart and back together, and has "left a message or post" to John Deere to see if anyone else had had similar issues. As of a week and a half ago Deere had not responded, and the dealer said something about there not being some kind of noise dampener in the ROPS....??
Any ideas or does yours do the same?
P.S. Almost always, when I depress the clutch and shift into a gear at idle or faster at a complete stop the gears grind into place.. I cringe every time it happens.. Is there something not right here??
Thanks, Brian

Just the word 'clicking' reminds me of over-running clutches. If that were it, it should only click when engine rpm is reduced and an implement is attached. Don't know why installing a mid-pto would change how an over-running clutch works though.
In general, there's apt to be a bit of grinding when engaging a pto that has a heavy implement attached. Low idle rpm helps and so does waiting for a bit with the clutch in before engaging the pto. My pto is live and it will grind a bit sometimes. I sense when that's going to happen and stop. Then I let the clutch out a bit to give the TX another spin and wait for it to stop. Often that changes the position of the sliding gears and allows it to engage normally. ....
