Well the old Aussie 414 I rebuilt the engine of on this Forum 5 or 6 years ago is still going but the PTO has started jumping out with both the chipper and slasher. On a search I found out that if the PTO shaft can move in and out , thats the problem.
I undid the 3 bolts and removed it and found that the circlip on the outside of the bearing was missing allowing the shaft to move in about 1/4 inch.
Now the splined sleeve only just engages when the shaft is out against the circlip so I think the inner PTO shaft has moved forward as well.
I can pull the top off the gearbox and diff to look in but is it possible to get to the front shaft to replace any circlips or whatever may need replacing without splitting the tractor?
Anyone done this?
