I just bought an early 80's 20B industrial. Lots of overhaul work done by a local tractor shop. Came with a front bucket. I also purchased a rear mower, and 6' blade. It did not come with a ROPS, but the dealer just happened to have one out back. I put it on myself.
Here's my first question - Can the pto be engaged while the engine is running? The only way I can engage it is while the engine is off then starting tractor with it engaged. I used it today and mowed for about 5 hours, love it so far.
Thanks for the help, Rick

Not totally familiar with that chassis but have you tried it with the clutch fully depressed. ....

Just when I thought the clutch was fully depressed, I gave it a little more ooomph, and it allowed me to engage the pto.
Thanks for the help.

It is a 2 stage clutch like my MF65. You need to depress a long way to disengage the PTO. ....
