It is only 2 bolts and takes less than a minute to pull them to take the plastic cover on or off.
Far less time than having to, find a rag, wipe off all the crud that has accumulated, find some grease or wd40 to put on it, clean the grease off of my hands, Don't take the time to find something to clean my hands so I wipe it on my pants, throw pants in laundry, sleep on couch next 3 days for getting grease on all the other "good clothes".
Much easier for me to just take off the cover those 5 or 6 times a year I use the brushhog /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I took delivery of my new Century 2535 with FEL Friday. I found the PTO cover in the tool box behind the seat. The guy from the dealer said that it was just for shipping to keep it from getting bunged up. I read in the manual last night that it should be kept on. I could only find one bolt in the toolbox.

Good answer Evasive 1
Does anyone else out there use that "antisieze" stuff on the chain checks and top link? You know, that silver stuff that you might as well put some on the steering, wheel, stick shifts, shirt, bla, bla, bla... it gets everywhere but it's good stuff.

yeah Virgil, its great stuff..use it on everything..however two things to remember
1) it does get friggin everywhere!!
2) on critical applications involving torque you have to backoff your foot/lbs quite a ways atleast 10%+ or more,,so slippery it'll snap bolts.

Hi I'm sorry that you might be having a problem. I guess it all depends on what kind of noise that you hear that would set off any alarms. Is it a rough sounding noise? typical through-out bearing kind of noise? grinding noise? or is it a "I can just hear it" kind of noise? I believe that you have a dual clutch assembly. One disk for drive and one disc for pto, might be a problem with the assembly. If its a "I can just hear it" kind of noise, you might want to call your dealer and express your concerns and ask them if its something you should worry about? Document your call and establish a history with the dealers advice and since your tra'tor has a few hours on it, you might want to document your call and run it and see if the noise gets worse or goes away. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
