#608885 - PTO Clutch
Drive System
Converting to PTO or Hydraulic
To convert your cart from PTO drive to a hydraulic drive, you must first purchase a hydraulic drive
kit. The kit includes the hydraulic motor, hoses, mounting plate, and the chain coupling necessary
for the conversion.
Remove the PTO shaft from the drive shaft. Install the chain coupling onto the end of the drive
shaft. Then slide the hydraulic motor shaft into the other end of the coupling and mount the motor
on the hydraulic motor bracket that comes welded to your cart. The motor must be mounted in
such a manner that the two faces of the chain coupling are parallel. It may be necessary to shim
the motor with flat washers to achieve proper alignment. Failure to align will result in excessive
wear of the coupling. Carefully connect the hydraulic hoses provided with the kit to the motor and
torque the fittings to 30 lb./ft. maximum. DO NOT OVER TORQUE. The hydraulic hose kits
provided are equipped with dual hose connections. This requires the use of two hydraulic tractor
remotes, but the auger will turn much faster. If you do not have an extra remote, the system will
work using only one port. In this case block one of the twin ½" hoses on each hose set.
To convert from hydraulic to PTO, do the opposite of the above procedure.
Rear PTO Driveshaft
The rear telescoping shaft utilizes the same parts as the tractor PTO. It is equipped with a 1 3/8 x
6 spline clamp bolt yoke on both ends. This facilitates removal in case of maintenance.
The PTO shaft should be greased daily when in use.
Tractor PTO Driveshaft
The PTO telescoping drive shaft used on the 850 cart has been selected for the use on this
application by the Walterscheid engineers. It has a built-in friction clutch with over-running feature
to virtually eliminate damage to the drive components by excessive torque or inertial stress from
the 18" auger system.
When using your cart for the first time or when changing tractors make sure there is at least 3" of
travel left in the PTO when connected to tractor. If not, the shaft could jam causing severe damage.
The PTO shaft should be greased daily when in use. Every year the clutch should be checked,
cleaned, and repaired if necessary.
The PTO shaft supplied with your cart has a 1 3/4" x 20 spline tractor end. This is standard and fits
all new larger tractors.
