Power Takeoff Shaft (PTO)
The PTO shaft used is of the normal agricultural type. Spares kits, comprising
the spider, needle bearings, circlips etc., are generally available from most
agricultural dealers.
For correct part numbers refer to the parts manual for the specific machine.
Some routine maintenance is needed to ensure a trouble free life for the PTO
shaft. For best results follow instructions below:
•
Regularly grease the PTO shaft sliding tubes.
•
Grease both ends of PTO shaft on a daily basis during use.
•
Ensure PTO guard torque chains are securely attached and in good
condition.
•
Check that PTO guard is in good condition – replace immediately if
damaged.
•
Check universal joint bearing journals for roughness or slack - replace if
necessary.

Slip Clutch
A slip clutch is incorporated in the PTO driveline. It is designed to slip, absorb
the shock load, and protect the driveline.
Clutch torque setting is factory set. If the clutch slips excessively the friction
discs should be checked for excessive wear. Discs are 1/8" (3.2mm) thick
when new - replace after 1/32" (0.8mm) wear.
If the slip clutch has a compression spring check length of springs as
assembled on clutch; the length should be 1.5/16" (33.3mm) - if not adjust
length of bolt to obtain the correct spring length. If additional adjustment is
required tighten each bolt 1/2 turn.
NOTE: Do not tighten spring bolts over 1/2 turn at any adjustment - excessive
tightening can cause clutch to become frozen and not slip which could cause
damage to tractor PTO, drivelines or gearbox. Clutches that have not been
used for 30 days should be slackened off, run for a second and re-tightened
to above settings.
