D200 backhoe drive spocket ???

[1maidenfan 201]

I am having difficulties trying to get this off ! Wodering if it even comes off ?

I picked this up from Scott (whfan74) and it was a factory loader / backhoe tractor. The drive sprocket on the pto will not come off I have tried pulling, prying, wedging and hammering on it to get this thing off, also used a half can of PB blaster with no results. My question is, does this thing (sprocket) come off.

Thoughts, suggestions, magic cure? :thanks:

from the photo it looks like pins or rivets have been used to secure it in place on the splines. I'll bet you have grind them or drill them to get the sprocket off.

Those are actually the ball bearings that make up the coupler on the end of the pto shaft. I took the outer ring off to hopefully free things up some, no luck with that either?

Looks like its time to get power tools out. It will come out of thier, one way or another. :soapbox:

It looks like the sproket is made onto a splined shaft like the splined PTO shaft.

The sproket & PTO shaft are connected with a splined coupling.

When the retaining ring is moved towards the tractor, the (probably) 4 balls are to be allowed to move out (away from) a grove in the splines allowing the splines to be removed from the coupling. The balls are probably rusted in place (not moving freely) allowing the sproket splined shaft to be removed from the coupling....Many large farm tractors have the same type of couplings on their PTO couplings.

Agree, looks like the inside of a hydraulic/air/water quick release fitting.

Ok, after alot of pb blaster, heat, drills, taps and a slide hammer she is finally apart.

Took the coupler apart and cleaned as good as I could with emery cloth all the ball bearings, the coupler collar and the coupler it's self.

Next put it all back together, oiled ,cleaned and oiled some more on the coupler and now she accepts the pto shaft like it should.

Paid off and now I can use the pto. :chores-mop:

After reading your first couple post, I was starting to fear for the Ds life. I thought you were going to blow it up! I'm glad you didn't.

Maybe some "Anti-Seize" on the parts would be a good idea.

For sure , I will be using it on a regular basis. The coupler was full of rust and debris when I did get the sprocket shaft out.

So what rear PTO driven attachment are you running? Tiller or rear finish mower?
