PTO Hub Resurface

Recommended Posts

Can a PTO hub be resurfaced such as a brake drum or disc?

I suppose so but why? The pto is either engaged or disengaged. Is it scored? :)

Sure it can. I have seen a few that was rust pittet bad so there were not much contact. You can skim it just fine, as long as you do not remove too much :-)

Thanks all for response.  Reason to do it is just looked into buying new hub and not available anymore.  Scoring did not seem to be too much, bit of rivets worn down.  Should get new clutch plates before they are discontinued.

Yes,  have a lathe and have done several. Theres a good bit of "meat" in it so  it will take a fairly deep cut if needed.

 

If the plates are pricey (and so much of original stuff is) look at bush hog/shredder clutch plates/etc. I have done that last couple I did - had to trim some excess off but that was minor.

I sand them them out with my 6 x 48 belt sander until they are nice and flat.

Also use a belt sander to resurface them. And use a sanding block to resurface the lining too.

Makes a HUGE difference for the snow blower when both of those surfaces are flat and have full area contact. No slipping under heavy loads. The PTO slipping isn't something that's easily noticed unless it's really slipping.  But the snow flying another 10 ft was noticeable.
