Hi Guys I am running a IND 16KWH PTO generator off my Massey Ferguson GC1725 the gears in the generator have wined since day 1 I change oil every season with the manufacturers recommended oil. But it's pretty loud regardless of load it's a steady hi pitched whirring. No issues with powering...

Yup same for me 120 Gallons diesel on the back of my truck. I should be good ! stay safe

I was doing ok when my BX had them 4 in a row decently spaced so i could easily grab the collar and push the male fitting in with little to no problem but with my MF GC1725 they are 2 over 2 stacked and its tight around each fitting. I just can't get any leverage Yup saw that forecast i am...

Thanks very much for the ideas I will give those a try

i had one of those and it never let me down just hate working in reverse and craning my neck the front mount has not proven to be as robust as my rear 3 point model was.

Yes very carefully worked the stick to relieve all pressure. I just cannot get good leverage with this 2 over 2 configuration. I may try fabricating something to push on the collar I've had a BX and that was 4 in a row easy. This MF stacked config is really testing me !

Thanks for the reply. I did try the local drive shaft shop and they would not touch it. But I did keep all the parts so if I do some travels to the southern part of my state I will find a more qualified shop and drop it off for repair.

Were you able to rebuild this shaft ? I bought the u joints at NAPA (thank you for the pics I pulled the part numbers from) But my dealer strongly advised me not to do so as it spins at 2000 RPM and they felt it would be a safety issue as well as a vibration issue. $525 bucks, but he had one...

Guys I am very grateful for the replies it validates that i am not the only one seeing this as an issue. My hands are not as strong as a few years ago so I really struggle trying to get leverage. I tried using a pry bar with a good handle to carefully push back the sleeve and a vise grip to...

Mine just blew out last week the U joint at the Mid coupler got taken out and the quick hitch assembly tore away from the front bumper. I surmised that the weld on the hitch plate that secures the square stock to create the mounting lip failed causing all this calamity. I was able to get a...

On my MF GC 1725 my Mid PTO front mount snow blower driveline shaft blew out at the u joint for the transmission coupler. In the ensuing calamity the front blower quick hitch tore away from its bumper mount. Seems the welded square stock rod that creates the lip for the Hitch to mount to the...

Hi Folks just a quick question: My hydraulic couplers on my GC1720 are very hard to take off and put on due to the tight location and heavy springing Does anyone use a special wrench or tool to get a better grip and apply better pressure ? My hands just don't have the strength in such a tight...

Hi guys I have a new GC1720 with a front mounted snowblower runs off the Mid PTO, It seems to be slipping and will not throw any snow. pins are all good driveline ok but i can turn the drive shaft, not easily, but i can. With the engine off and Mid PTO in gear , seems like its slipping to...
