2006 Montana 4940C PTO Clutch Replacement

[Texasgreen]

Well, it's come time to replace my tractors PTO clutch assy. The PTO clutch has called it quits and now I'm having to split my tractor and replace it. It took my dad and I around 4.5 hours to drain everything and lift the cab off then split the tractor midship and pull the PTO clutch out and inspect the damage and look for other worn parts. I will say that LS does build a simple and strong geared tractor. the bearing sizes and shafts are much larger than most other tractors of this HP range. I did a video on my YouTube channel showing us splitting this tractor and showing the bad parts we found. It's just part-1 of video series I'm making on this repair. Here is the link to the video below, hope you like it.

I have added the last two videos to my YouTube page. The PTO clutch is replaced and working good now. You can see what is involved in the videos.

When operating ANY PTO powered implement you always engage the pto at idle or as close to idle as possible and when disengaging it, you always idle the tractor down to idle no matter what. Both my Kubota M9's have well over 3K hours on them and I've never had to adjust the PTO back lockup or the driving clutch lockup freeplay.
