I would look for any loose hardware on the chassis, boards, or
PTO mounting screws. There could be an electrical problem, too,
like maybe the 12 V supply to the Scout take a voltage dip due to
a loose connection in the power cable.
By the way, what is the recommended cleaning procedure for the Scout
PTO and should it be lubricated?
