Detector 72 #1 Posted October 3, 2016 I'm a bit puzzled! I removed a retaining ring from the PTO lever with my snap ring pliers last month , the shaft was lightly sanded primed & painted, I installed my hood stand today and looked at the lever and cannot find any groove the retaining ring fits in? I took my razor and cut the paint as you can see in my pic, the shaft is slick... Perhaps it just grips the shaft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,485 #2 Posted October 3, 2016 Think you may be correct. It is called a grip ring in the parts list https://www.partstree.com/parts/toro/mowers-lawn-garden-tractor/21-12ke01-312-a-toro-312-a-garden-tractor-1986/pto-clutch-and-control/ Garry 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detector 72 #3 Posted October 3, 2016 Thanks, sure enough a its called a grip ring, I thought my paint was thick and hid the groove, oh well I'll redo the part. Next time I'll surely ask first. Again thank you 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
