Was mowing with my B7100 and rear finish mower. Stop momentarily, and when I release clutch again, mower doesn't turn and I hear a clicking/ratchet sound whenever clutch is released. Moved the tractor and tried again with same result. So I disconnect shaft to mower and try again. PTO shaft not turning, and clicking sound still present at rear near PTO shaft output. So, I removed mower and bring the tractor into my shed, and just for kicks, I try to engage the PTO, and now it works normally. When turned by hand, it turns freely with ratcheting action one way, and won't turn the other way, so everything appears normal.
So, is this just a case of something sticking, and I should just try using it again, or do I need to break her down and service it? How big of a job is it to access the over running clutch?
