At this point, it wouldn't hurt to call Woods and talk with a tech guy or engineer for ideas. I occasionally have called companies when... -

Good Post.
My opinion (retired machinist/millwright). The one bolt failure is definitely cyclic. I think the problem is loose hub to shaft fit and... -

I had a John Deere 850 that had an abrupt PTO clutch. I would Idle it down, and then only momentarily engage the PTO clutch, and then...
