The owner traces the problem to a rusted, grime-gunked linkage and spring under the tractor that was binding the cable, then fixes it with silicone spray, showing the lever working normally afterward. It's a quick DIY fix demo, not a review or walkaround, best for owners troubleshooting this exact symptom before calling a dealer.
Posted by an L2501 owner sharing a real fix from his own maintenance experience, not a dealer or professional mechanic.
A linkage under the tractor can get rusted and gunked up with grass and dirt, binding the cable and spring so it won't move to the disengaged position.
Follow the PTO cable down to the linkage under the tractor and spray silicone spray on the linkage and spring to free up the binding.
Try spraying silicone spray on the rusted, gunked up linkage and spring under the tractor first before taking it to the dealer.
