Smart decision, the guy that told you that is full of processed beans.

What serial number? Mid production 2305's had the pto beefed up.

Can you please put up what info you have about the serial numbers & PTO problem you have?

I am supposed to be putting down a deposit on a 2305 today.

Thank you
John

Ahh yes the less than stellar salesman that would say, "I didn't lie, You just didn't ask the right questions".

Welcome to TBN

That still doesn't add up to me...unless someone replaced the shear pins with hardened bolts. Either way, thats not a machine I'd want to own!

Thank you! Being in industry and the military I can tell you, people can find a way to break anything.

Probably a good buy. I think some have posted about the repair only costing, $4,000 to $6,000 dollars. Small change to spend on a really good buy.

I wonder if the seller will ever sell the thing.

Seems way high to me. I had Mid PTO + Power Beyond installed and a few other things looked at on same bill. Total Parts = $1,548, Labor = $1,609 plus tax. This was May 2011 on a 3320 CAB. Looking at the bill the Mid PTO kit was $600 + $160 for PTO Control Lever kit.

From posts on the 2305 PTO problems it requires case replacement along with the internal PTO gears. I don't think it is a simple remove middle PTO and replace with another.

I've owned a 2305. The PTO comes with the machine. However the mounting brackets for the MMM are optional/cost extra for them to be installed. Have to do the same with the brackets for a front mounted snow blower.
