Hi All,
Sorry for the newbie question but I guess I have to learn somehow.
I just purchased my first PTO driven attachment yesterday. I need to grease the u-joints as the attachment (mower) has multiple PTO shafts. There are PTO shields in place that cover the U-joints. Each shield is bell shaped with 3 white plastic (clips?) that hold the bell shaped part of the shield to the tubular part of the shield.
Can someone tell me if these "clips" are meant to be releases so that the bell shaped end of the shield can be slid back to expose the u-joints? I didn't know if those "clips" were meant to release the bell or if they are permanent and messing with them would break the shield. If they are meant to be releases, what is the trick to operating them?
Thanks!
