Moparfanforever 737 #1 Posted March 25, 2012 Hey Guys , I Have a C-160 Auto and took the bell off to do some repairs and noticed a stud on the end of the crank and a thrust bearing and washer laying in the bell. The stud has a screwdriver slot in it also. According to the parts lookup i am missing a thrust washer and a spring of some kind. I have worked on a couple of 300 series tractors and they didn't have those parts on them. Are these parts needed and is there some kind of adjustment on the stud since it has the screwdriver slot in it ??? What are the purpose of the parts and should the 300 series have the parts on them ??? ( GT 1848 & 310 8 ) Thanks , Darrell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,922 #2 Posted March 25, 2012 In that series of tractors, the PTO was forced away from the clutch plate and against the brake pad by assistance from that spring. In the 300 series, the spring, washers and stud were removed and the engage/disengage hoop mechanism was changed to accomplish the same task. I think that the spring setup worked better myself. There is no adjustment in the stud, it just screws in. You can still purchase the thrust bearing, washers and spring from Toro to bring yours back to original.

Moparfanforever 737 #3 Posted March 25, 2012 Thanks for the info Bob. Now i see why i couldn't get the clutch adjusted. So , I guess the stud holds everything together while you put the bell on ??? And i guess i could swap the PTO setup from a 314 onto the C-160 ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,922 #4 Posted March 25, 2012 The stud keeps the bearing, washers, and spring aligned. The hoop and associated hardware from the 314 should work. Someone will correct me if I am wrong about the 314 stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOWTIE 226 #5 Posted March 26, 2012 YOU CAN RUN IT WITHOUT ALL THE INTERNAL HARDWARE. JUST PUT A SPRING ON THE ENGAGEMENT HANDLE LIKE THE 314 HAS. BOWTIE IN OHIO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rick 216 #6 Posted March 27, 2012 As Bob said, the spring and stud setup works better. My C-100 is set up that way, and the PTO bell always stops against the brake. The rest of the herd, well, if there is no belt on the bell, they always end up turning... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
truckin88 104 #7 Posted April 15, 2012 Guys having the same issue with my father in laws 520, his C-120 has the internal spring but the 520 does not, does it only have a spring on the handle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,128 #8 Posted April 15, 2012 does it only have a spring on the handle? Yes - that is correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
