PTO service roll pin and bearings

[johnnymag3 2,621]

Just wondering who does any of this anymore.    Services the PTO …..the bearings and that magical roll pin that rides along in the engagement bar that gets broken and no one even realizes.  there’s a lot of adjustment to be done there and pay attention to the brake.   ….. some of you may say what’s a brake ……. It’s all there just pay attention and your machine will last you a lifetime

That's the style clevis yoke I use because it makes it easier to swing the bail out of the way. The brake? I don't use it.

@johnnymag3  thats a gold mine area for improvement , that spring clip round circular  corner , use a medium pull extension spring  to the related hitch pin clip  on frame , end corner circle , spring pull , eliminates rattles / noise , also replaced the pto lever trundle with a heim joint ?  much more  acular in swing movement , rethread right over the  original 3/6 x16  thread with a  3/8x24 die nut  for screw on of  the  heim , another area is the battery tray  lever arm sloppy start ,  1st photo ,  have the same set up on 3 horses , simple and very effective , just a suggestion , pete

That roll pin is not the normal roll type spring pin found in the hardware small parts drawers.  Those are single layer pins, which will work in a pinch, but won't last long.

 

The factory pin is called a spiroll pin.  It is a spring pin that has been made by rolling two layers of steel to make the pin.  Last time I needed one, my local Toro dealer had one - not too bad of a price, either.  I haven't looked, but McMaster Carr probably stocks them as well.

 

Edit - McMaster Carr lists the spiroll pins as coiled spring pins.

The ball bearing is a P204RR6 or Z9504RST   0.75" ID   1,7805" OD  and  0.610" wide. Don't remember the roller bearing size or number, but it's the same bearing used in old Ford enclosed drive shafts.
