Ken:
I got my tractor back. The problem was hydraulic fluid getting to the PTO clutch. There is a sleeve that the PTO shaft rotates in that slipped enough so the fluid could not flow thru the ports. The mechanic commented that he had never seen such a thing and it took him awhle to find it. You were right, the fix was pricey.

Ahhh the power of the internet! I was able to gather a significant amount of information from the JD website which should answer a lot of the questions in this thread. According to the JD website, a Heavy Duty Sub Frame Kit (LVB24795) is required for 447 BH in rental and commercial applications and recommended for all applications. This HDSFK is required for the 48 BH regardless of the application. The 447 BH also requires a Power Beyond Kit (LVB25085) to get the hydraulics to the BH. Also, a bucket larger than 9� will cost you. (Maybe that�s why the 447 looked less than manly next to a 48 with a larger standard bucket.)
