PTO Protection

[Bird]

JimBinMi, I just assume New Holland figured you might as well keep the PTO splines covered to prevent rust while they're sitting around, and of course the owners had better take better care of them so they'll last awhile, and Kubota didn't figure you needed a cover on them because you'd be using them./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

And raining cats and dogs; I wish. Hot and dry with a 50% chance of showers forecast for tomorrow, but right now it looks like it'll all go north of us again./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Hi Jim.
I see there another New Holland lover out there,and like my friend said " once you had the best you won't try the rest"......mmmm. )

The website you wrote about with Fords/New Hollands could you please sometime forward the site.

Here in Lebanon,NH the lighting snapping and the wind blowing strong,also its raining so hard that the rain drops bounce back up again from the surface than fall again....yikes

The bright side is the heavy rain should help keep the pollen & blackflies or balance for a while.

It sure would be nice if Bird could send some of his warm weather my way to dry up the ground.....hint...hint...Bird.
Looks like more idle time also getting behind on the tree farm.....oh well guess I have to use some vaction time.

Take care out there Jim and stay dry also safe.

You wouldn't want my weather; just under 90 and high humidity, grass already dying, ground cracking, and the TV weatherman says May is "traditionally" our rainy month.

I hope I’m not double-answering here, but that cover should have been installed by the dealer (rear) and if one was made for the mid-PTO when you purchased your tractor, it too should have been installed before you took delivery of your tractor (assuming that it was a new tractor). However, my memory doesn't tell me a mid PTO cover was present on the last B2710 I saw. I don't know the answer to that one.

Sounds like here, Thomas... only problem I see is 1) there is no power at home so I had to come back to work to get onto the forum (faster connection so that's not bad), 2) the grass is too tall already! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

On the bright side, for me, get the mud mess over with and then June will be nice!

Enjoy,

Bird,

Flood warning tonight through tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. since I'm a teacher and I live on high ground, I'm hoping for enough rain to call off school tomorrow. If not that's OK, just have 14 days (school days) left until semi-retirement...I mean summer vacation!!! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif More time to spend with my NH doing some serious work!

All of my L's have come with cover on any PTO it had - the L4310HST doesn't have a mid-PTO. I've never taken the mid-PTO covers off the ones that had 'em, and I immediately took the rear covers off and never replaced them.

I'm not saying that's the best way to do it, but I suspect it's pretty much normal. I've never had a problem from not using the cover.

Ok, are we talking about covers or guards here? Big difference, because this one is starting to not make sense to me if we're talking about covers. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

 

[MChalkley]

Well, he said cover so I assumed that's what was meant, but I see what you mean.

JimBinMI - when you say school is almost out so you can do major work with Big Blue, do you mean valve job, new main end bearings, and the like? Just curious. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
