TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #1 Posted July 22, 2008 Looking for information leading to the capture of a good used front PTO shaft assembly for one of those weird-looking Ariens (or New Holland) garden tractors from the mid 70's. This is a belt-driven shaft mounted in a housing that runs either the mower deck or snowblower. I'm guessing that they might be hard to find in good condition because of the squirrely design, but I thought I'd ask anyhow. Perry -- are you hiding any of these animals out there?????? (not actual tractor) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #3 Posted July 22, 2008 That's the bad part, Perry..... The guy brought a bearing and a broken mounting flange here yesterday, but nothing else. I looked in the book and saw nothing resembling those parts. It was then that I realized that the flange he brought up is home made. The tractor isn't too far away, so I might have to go look at it to see what kind of "mess" it has. Here's an IPL drawing of the entire PTO unit: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #6 Posted August 5, 2008 The second one is a good lead, Perry...... Waiting on a final answer. :whistle: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
perry 82 #7 Posted August 6, 2008 ya the second one looks like a better chance. but the first guy may still have his dads blown up or something, since they are getting rid of the new hood they bought for a restore . worth shooted him a email also. and did you PM greg in ohio ?.

TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #10 Posted August 20, 2008 The ebay seller formerly known as "atbiggs" in South Dakota! Nice thing about it is that it will fit in a flat rate box and ship for $10. (even though the assembly cost $100! -- good thing I don't have to pay for it. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
