WHY???? WHY???? You can't understand WHY?????
sorry, couldn't resist
I keep my PTO greased and it gets gritty and clogged with dirt, then the PTO shaft is a bear to connect or worse; to disconnect...... sorry for the humor:ashamed:
I got a 4" length of foam pipe insulation (1 1/4" dia I think), wrapped some masking tape around to hold the seam tight and it has worked well for years now. Slides on and off easily without falling off. I find keeping it clean makes life easy too. Got a smaller diameter piece for the mid PTO shaft as well. Simple things work well. And I never had any of the covers when the dealer delivered the tractor.
