Holden41 0 #1 Posted September 2, 2016 I have a wheelhorse b80 and I am trying to get the pto clutch to ingage the blades. I have bought a new clutch plate for it and got everything back on and adjusted the rod and it's still floppy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 62,502 #2 Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) Did you remember to install the pin that connects the tensioner to the end bell? Edited September 2, 2016 by 953 nut add photo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,652 #3 Posted September 2, 2016 Probably best to post a pic of your PTO for better and quicker internet diagnostics. Other than that, it's just guessing but I'll take a stab at it too. Check that little 1/8 inch roll pin too which that piece swivels on. Common for them to wear, rust and break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anglo Traction 761 #5 Posted September 3, 2016 Just a hunch......... I reckon the Snap Ring on the Clutch Stub Shaft may have jumped out of the Groove?. The Shaft is the one that the PTO Clutch Pin shown in Richard's (953 nut) above passes through. If it is the worn groove in the Shaft, the part number is 102872 and available all over the internet (search for Toro 102872).....probably need to replace the Snap Ring as well. If is not the cause, or any of the other suggestions , I have no idea what else it can be?. Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdleach 525 #6 Posted September 3, 2016 HEY! I thought that machine looked familiar. THATS MY TRACTOR! The WH PTO clutch is a very simple mechanism, and can be pretty thoroughly worn out and still work. I just placed an order for almost every PTO part on my C-175 black hood. The trunnion had serious grooves cut into it, the clevis, (center part with the roll pin) had the holes severely wallowed out, and the PTO brake was missing entirely. That said, it would still engage. Be aware, that even in "new" condition, the PTO linkages are pretty loose. There is ample clearance between bolts, pins, and holes so that the parts "float", but will find their respective positions whenever the lever is engaged.

Wheel-N-It 2,976 #7 Posted September 3, 2016 Holden, what part is still floppy? Is it the PTO unit, or the lever, or the linkage, or is it the belt? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,652 #8 Posted September 3, 2016 Now I'm guessing Anglo Traction's guess might have hit it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldredrider 2,553 #12 Posted September 9, 2016 Is it possible that you have the wrong pto? The B-80 has a 1" crankshaft and you may have a pto made for a 1 1/8" crankshaft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or possibly the hoop and brackets may be very worn as jdleach mentioned in his post above. Edited September 12, 2016 by TDF5G Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BESTDOGEVER 218 #14 Posted September 12, 2016 Check the size on the pto if it is 11/8 inch you can get bushings for about 5 bucks and be good to go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
