Hi all, just hoping for a bit of insight.
I have a BareCo PTO shaft for my slasher which I've recently disassembled to grease. On reassembly, I can't recall if the yoke on the outer tube goes to the tractor end, or the yoke on the inner tube goes to the tractor end. It's obviously important since the BareCo PTO plastic protector sleeve is marked with <----- 'Tractor End'.
My manual doesn't help and searching the net for 4 hours reveals any and all combinations. Some tractors have the inner 'thin' tube of the PTO shaft attached to the tractor's PTO, others have the outer 'fat' end connected to the tractor. My gut says fat end to tractor but happy to be wrong.
Appreciate your advice !
