Need pto help

Recommended Posts

Hacksawhero123

I started mowing with my new deck and lost pto engagement. Upon tear down I found one thrust washer wedged between the center stud (in the crank) and the butt end of the center bearing of the pulley. There should be a thrust bearing, two washers, and a spring on the center stud. The spring and one washer are missing. Will it hurt anything to run without the spring, washers, and thrust bearing?  Nearest I can tell, all it does is push the pto pulley against the brake when not engaged. 

Thanks. 

Mark.

The later models like my 520's do not use that arrangement and simply have a spring on the PTO rod to disengage and pull against the brake (if it is there, I don't have a brake pad on any of mine and the PTO stops just fine without it).

I removed the stud from the end of the crank. The end of it was boogered up a bit as were some of the threads. Crank looks good. I ran it for about an hour and a half this way and all seems well

I would think as long as you keep the PTO engaged there should be no problem running it.

You do realize the majority of us are shivering and about to be snowed in don't you?   :ychain:

A tractor model revealed to all of us might be helpful.

Just a suggestion.

Manual? Electric PTO?

Item #33 pto shaft in this later design is different than yours. You have one retaining ring #34 that applies pressure to the bearing to apply the clutch. This one has a second #34 retaining ring on the inside so the linkage will pull the assembly back out. You can change your's to this style and remove the small pieces on the inside.

Nut, I'm only a few hours from Mexico. The grass never sleeps here. Supposed to be 75 degrees tomorrow. Thong weather. 

My tractor is a 1975 model C160. Gwest, after removing the stud and one stray washer, mine looks to be set up like the drawing from partstree.

14-106 threaded stud with slot cut in the end

14-103 thrust washers (2x)

14-104 thrust bearing

14-107 spring 

all of these are now removed. The caged roller bearing and end bearing both looked great. Nearest I can tell, the parts I removed serve the function of pushing the pto cone pulley out against the brake when disengaged. Does this sound correct?

Thanks

Mark.

      A HUGE thank you to Tony @Docwheelhorse for settin' me up here.
       
      The generosity of some of our members never ceases to amaze me.
       
      This here is another 1974 C160, but with the rare Tecumseh HH/OH160 OHV engine. Made one year only.
       
      It's rough. Very much in need of a full disassembly and restoration.
       
      When it came here it was missing one tie rod and the other was broken off one end.
      Today I popped used tie rods on and Trina used her 867 to drag it from the drive to the shed.
       
      The engine wouldn't move.
      Tin was near chock full of skeletal mouseseses and their house.
      Cleaned that out and the engine spins freely now.
       
      So progress has been made.
       
      It'll be a good long while before we get to this one but I just couldn't turn it down considering the rarity.

      Hello, 
       
      I am hoping someone can help my. I recently acquired a c160 for the engine for another tractor. So I did a motor swap and wanted to see what the hydro was like. I put a plow on it C-160 (which now has a 12hp engine on it). I did a quick test run and everything was good. I drained the fluid and change the filter (Napa 1410 filter and sae 30 transmission fluid as it stated to only use this fluid on the tractor.) everything was working great after the fluid change. I plowed two driveways and the sidewalks near my house... all the sudden the tractor would not go forwards or in reverse. I tried to pick the plow up and nothing... I checked my drive belt it was turning like it should. I started to push the tractor and the rear was engaged so it would not move. Of course I was 400’ from my driveway and the plow was down which made it fun. I put the tractor in forward and started to push it and the thing took off. So I hopped on and took it to the front of the garage. I put it in revers and it cut out again so I pushed it in the garage. Today I went out to check the tow valve. I took it out and cleaned the threads up put it back in and it did not change anything. According to the dipstick I have the proper amount of fluid in it. I did have a drip that I fixed on the cylinder still nothing... does anyone out there have any tips to help me out? I’ve never had a transmission like this only manual transmissions. The model of this transmission is the sundstrand 90-1140.
      Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      I don't have pictures yet but I can get some later. I know that will be helpful but I forgot to take them last night.
       
      So here's what I know.
      When I bought my c-160 last year it came with a plow. It was delivered to my house and the plow was not mounted on it. I never saw this particular plow on that particular tractor.
      The plow I have is 42 inches wide and has a full frame as most of them do.
      The angle lever has the Z shape to it, NOT a straight stick of metal, and also bends slightly back towards the operator.
       
      When I am pulling the angle lever towards me to change the angle of the plow it contacts the brake lever.
       
      Any thoughts?

      I have at least 7 hubs on different tractors that I would like to add a second set screw to.
       
      I have an older but good quality floor model drill press.
      I have the tap set.
      I don't recall ever using the tap set to do anything other than clean out threads. Not make my own thread set.
       
      Can anybody give any particular advice?
