| Going to possibly add a CA to the barn tomorrow. Anything specific to check for on these? I've got a B already. Just wondering if there were any common issues. |

its like your foot clutch but when you use it instead off your foot clutch your pto keeps spinning and you roll to a stop. is very handy i mow with my ca and sometimes when i get into the tall weeds i use the hand clutch to stop the tractor then the foot clutch otherwise the deck plugs up if you stop all of the sudden and roll into the weeds

| Well you can see my success on another post. I didn't find the hand clutch. I found the hydro controls and there is a little ring lever beside it that I haven't figured out yet. 7 hours round trip makes little time to play once home. Plenty of time to play tomorrow. |

The little ring next to the hydraulic control lever is the PTO and must be engaged for the hydraulics to work.
