I had a 60" Puma I bought used from a fella here, and used it for about 8 years without issues. The only time I would break a grade 2 pin is if I got a little greedy and pushed too hard.
I sold that with the tractor and bought a 1533, and a hardly used year old Meteor 60", had just a scratch or two. Problem is, I run at 540 rpms, and will break a grade 2 on fluffy snow. Talked to a neighbor, and he recommended spraying it w/ WD-40, and switching to grade 5 pins.
It got better, but I still shear pins at what I consider light to medium loading. Went thru 3 yesterday with 3"of snow????
PTO turns easy by hand, no binding or resistance at all...
Any Ideas???
Thanks,
Mike
