Select Correct PTO Speeds-If Equipped

IMPORTANT: Disengage PTO with switch (B) before changing PTO speed with lever (A). NEVER use shiftable PTO lever (A) to engage or disengage PTO.

No PTO speed selection required. Engage standard 540 PTO with switch (B).

NOTE: Standard 540 rpm power take-off speed is reached at 2100 rpm engine speed.

For standard 540 PTO operation (load requiring full engine power), lift black collar and move lever (A) rearward into standard 540 speed position.

For economy 540 PTO operation (lighter load), lift black collar and move lever (A) forward into economy 540 speed position. In economic mode, engine operates at lower rpm to conserve fuel and reduce overall operating noise while still turning PTO shaft at 540 rpm.

NOTE: Economy 540 rpm power take-off speed is reached at 1645 rpm engine speed and limited to maximum engine speed of 1900 rpm.

NOTE: PTO conversion kits are available for most tractors. See your John Deere dealer for details and kit applications.

IMPORTANT: PTO shaft must be reversed from 540 to 1000 rpm position before moving shift lever (A). (See "Reverse 540/1000 rpm PTO Shaft-If Equipped" in this section.)

540/540E select remains the same.

For 1000 rpm PTO operation, after PTO shaft positioned correctly, lift black collar and move lever (A) rearward into standard 540 speed position.
