In thick, but not tall, grass PTO shaft stops turning.

I'll cross post this to alt.home.repair There are a lot more
posters there. Do you mean a 5103?

Call your local Mr Green man--he's got all the manuals and I've yet to
see one who won't let you look at them and make copies of pertinent
pages, etc., ...

Don't know about the Deere,
but my simplicity is electronically activated. When my battery was dead
or dieing because of my voltage regulator not working properly it would
shut... if yours is similar check you electrical system.

Do you need to charge it???

Exploded drawings online. Last I looked not all service manuals are
online unfortunately.

Doesn't seem to have changed...

The last PTO I had anything to do with (Not JD) was adjusted
by tightening up a ring of bolts on the springs of a multiplate
clutch. Similar to some motorcycles.
Failed. The plates were oil contaminated & had to be replaced.
Tried cleaning with petrol but that didn't work.

*There are a lot more

Yes... my apologies for typo.
