rick 257 #1 Posted January 24, 2010 When I pulled the engine down for overhaul, there was a cut off stud screwed into the end of the crankshaft. I found the remains of thrust washer and two flat washers in the grease and debris in the PTO "bell". I have not seen these parts in my other tractors. I had no trouble finding them in the IPL, but it seems they are not necessary, since they don't appear to be used anymore. Can anyone enlighten me about these parts? I have started building the engine and need to know if I should get them.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #2 Posted January 24, 2010 They are what used to be used to push the PTO pulley away from the clutch plate and into the brake pad when the PTO was disengaged. The stub shaft and clips on the PTO pulley were later redesigned to actually pull the pulley away from the clutch disc when disengaged and the internal spring was no longer necessary.

rick 257 #3 Posted January 24, 2010 Thanks, TT. Sort of what I thought. Looks like I can do without them then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
