PTO Alignment Technique

[aczlan]

I use the screw driver trick like Ritch if the implement is hard to turn, but 90% of the time I just turn them by hand. I find this part pretty easy compared to my neighbors JD implements that have that scchhstupid ring collar that take two hands to pull back while trying to shove the whole assembly forward onto the splines. Whoever came up with that design needs to be slapped with a greasy glove:laughing:.

Not sure if the collar you push back,or the collar you have to rotate is worse...
Give me a pushbutton latch any day.

I third all of the above!! All of my implements have the stuuuupid round-lock collar to try and hold back whilst attempting to push pto shaft forwards. Very fustrating indeed!! What ever happened to the old style of push pin collars? Are they even made anymore? I remember that style as being waaay easier to hook up. Greg

My new PTO shaft from agri-supply has the push button... slid on like butter last night. And only $69 !! Quality "appears" the same as units costing twice as much.

All of mine are the stupid push back collars. They just happen to be what was supplied with the implements and I'm too cheap to replace them. At least my PTO shaft spins freely.
