Ha!! yea... Lot's of grease...

I have some creeks I have to cross on my land that are pretty steep...

I'll disconnect the drive line when traveling through these area's to avoid jamming up the pto shaft.

I went back to the 1 1/8th OR clutch and got rid of the adaptor. this will shorten things up a bit.

IMHO.. if the driveline jambs up.. it's too long and needs to be cut down before the pto bearing carrier dies..

If you are using a 1-1/8" to 1-3/8" bushing under a 1-3/8" I.D. ORC, that's probably about 90% of your trouble. You need to buy an ORC with a 1-1/8" I.D. or, considering your 1-1/8" tractor output shaft is probably worn severely, buy a PTO shaft kit for your tractor to provide you with a new 1-3/8" standard PTO output and use the style ORC you have. All this is assuming you have carefully checked your mower's PTO shaft to make sure it isn't bottoming out, as suggested in the previous thread.

Sounds right to me. My 8N has the standard (original size) 1 1/8 pto shaft with a 1 1/8 I.D. 1 3/8 O.D. Overriding clutch and it works fine.
