Here I go!! As soon as I post this thread I'm going to begin the process of fixing the PTO on my Massey 1215 that I bought this past March.
I bought it from a rental place. The guy said that a renter had been using a tiller and kept busting shear bolts. So, he kept putting in progressively stronger bolts in until the PTO busted inside. I have the shaft, and the theory is that the shaft is what's broken. I hope that's the case.
While I'm in there, I'm going to look at the 4 wheel drive. It doesn't seem to be working either. I'm also going to see if I can unstick the valve that controls how fast the 3 pt. hitch drops. it is currently stuck.
I'm doing this over this holiday weekend so that I will have more time to work on it. Here's hoping I don't need any parts that I don't already have.
