Good Morning. When I engage the pto both my tiller and mower spin, but as soon as they come in contact with soil or grass the pto stops spinning. Earlier in the season I would be using the implements and find that they had stopped spinning while tilling or mowing and I would have to reverse for a second and the implement would work for a while again. Now they won't work under any load. Is this the pto clutch going bad? It looks like splitting the tractor is the next step, right? I am looking for advice from someone who has done this repair. What else should I inspect and replace when the tractor is split. What do i need to know, have to do this job successfully. Thanks for your time.

If it has a 2 stage clutch, then yes bad clutch disk.
First you need the WSM, I'll PM you a download link (look top right) if you don't already have one.
Normally when you split a tractor to do a clutch you do any input seals on the transmission, Pressure plates, disks, throw out bearing, and pilot bearing.
Also good time to replace fluid and filters.

No idea if L175 and L185 are similar or not in this regard, but your post reminded me of this thread from last year.
