    I own a 1997 Volvo straight truck that was converted to a 80 barrel tank to haul saltwater. I have been doing this for about 7 months now. today, another guy relieved me and drove my truck for me. He called to tell me PTO wasnt working. I got there and checked all fuses and basic stuff i knew to check. When i engage it and let off on clutch, no sound or anything starts up. PTO shaft doesnt even spin. I'm a rookie and dont know to much about the PTO. any help or advice would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    I had used it prior to his driving and it ran perfect and nothing was wrong with it when i finished. He has driven it before and knows how to operate it.

    there have been times when I pulled end dumps the pto wouldn't enave you would turn it on and nothing. it was air operated. I would have to climb under truck with a small hammer and tap the pto shaft in to get it to engage.
