jsp_333 280 #1 Posted December 15, 2023 Last year I picked up a second 414-8 and put the 79360 Snowblower on it as a winter tractor. While clearing the chute - the plastic clearing tool got stuck in the augur because it was still spinning. The augur seems to spin for quite sometime after releasing the pto. I remember (I'm over 60 so memory can be iffy) the augur stopping almost immediately on the other 414-8 so 1. there's nothing wrong with the set up and I'm just remembering wrong. or 2. A pto adjustment is required because the current set up is dangerous. or 3. it's a belt issue which I think is highly unlikely About 5 seconds into the attached video I release the pto and the auger spins for another 15 seconds.

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,453 #2 Posted December 15, 2023 Item 23 is the pto brake. Is it adjusted properly or possibly worn? https://www.partstree.com/models/31-14k804-414-8-toro-garden-tractor-1989/pto-clutch-and-control-39/ With the engine not running apply the pto. Loosen the pto brake bracket and slip a business card between the pad and the hub. Hold it tight to the hub and tighten the bolts. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
