The PTO usually has a clutch that has to be engaged so that you can select the PTO rotation setting. I had a problem like that on my tractor and all it needed was a little adjustment on the PTO clutch lever, so it could disengage the PTO gearbox properly.

    That I don't know. I own a (Swiss) Hürlimann, not a John Deere. Look in the instruction manual, it might be in there.

    If adjusting the shift lever doesn't work, you will have to split the tractor, just behind the shifter levers. It's not that hard. Just support the front half, put a floor jack under the transmission. It can be done in 1 1/2 hrs. You will probably have to replace the clutch. Don't buy it off JD. Go to a transmission shop and buy the clutch discs and plates. They will coust about $30. JD wants over $300. To slide it back together, grind the heads off 6" bolts, and use them as guides.

X595 john deere pto wont kick in

These John Deere Garden Tractors have a RIO (Reverse Implement Option) on the PTO. If your PTO is engaged and you back up, the PTO will automatically stop. To reset it, depress your PTO engagement switch to the OFF position. Take your foot off the reverse pedal. Pull up on the PTO engagement switch. The PTO should restart. To use the RIO feature, pull up on the PTO switch for a second or two just before you step on the reverse hydrostatic pedal. The yellow RIO indicator light should come on your dashboard and you can now back up with the PTO still running. Works great for snow blowing when I don't want to keep resetting my electric PTO clutch to keep restarting my snow blower.

If your PTO will not restart, you may have a PTO switch starting to fail, or a likely logic problem in your electric PTO control module, or one of your forward/reverse indicator switches, which is linked to your PTO control module along with the overtemp circuit, is stuck/faulty.

You should have a round knob on your dash or console you pull it up turn it to the left or turn it to the left and slowly pull it up.
