JD 2210 bent or misaligned rear PTO shaft

fgross335 2210:

Thanks for the referral to ytmag.com. I checked it out and posted a reply to the original poster with the similar problem. His seemed much worse, although "off axis" is "off axis" and its still a problem no matter how you slice it. He indicated his was off by about 15-deg. whereas mine is off by about 1-deg. and had to check it multiple times to make sure it wasn't an illusion The slip clutch issue raised by the guy on ytmag.com is any interesting one and makes me wonder what kind of shape the slip clutch on my rental was in. If anyone else is interested in this poster's piece, go to ytmag and search under "2210 PTO." His piece is entitled "2210 PTO catastrophic failure!!!"

Anyway, thanks again

Have you tried a dial indicator on it to see how far out it spins?

I'd agree about the slip clutch. My 455 has an internalclutch on the PTO that makes a loud ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ prior to stalling the engine when the tiller gets bound on a rock. I can imagine what would happen w/o this clutch....

A slip clutch is a must on a tiller. If it was a rental you can bet the clutch has never been adjusted or checked very much. I adjust mine so that i can , with some effort, turn the tines without the pto shaft turning, I would rather replace a clutch disk than the rear PTO shaft and gears.
