Excuse me if this sounds like a lame question, but this is my first tractor, and some things just don't seem to add up. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
I figured out that the chains on the PTO shaft shield should be tied down at each end. Not clear "what" they are supposed to be tied to (the mower manual doesn't even mention them), but I presume that at the PTO end, something like the towbar would be appropriate, and at the mower end, anything close by?
Anyway, to make a long question short, what the heck keeps the PTO shaft attached? There doesn't seem to be a pin, or clip, or anything for that matter that would keep it from just slipping off!?! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif Is it just that the lack of slack on the shaft shield chains keeps it from slipping off?
Curious minds, and logical thinking?
