PTO Shaft Safety Shield damaged on Victory Flail Mower

PTO extension like this?View attachment 659120

That should work. There is no way of knowing if someone needs a extension or not. The length of arms vary across different tractor models.

As far as slowing the cylinder movements you can add a restrictor orifice like this.

I'm trying to figure out where to add it.

 

[K5lwq]

Normally where the hose connects to the cylinder. Just have to make sure of what size and type fitting is on the cylinder. I would put it on the return line for when the head is lowering down. That will slow things down.

They also make an adjustable type that can be used. I have one on my Kioti rear remote valve.

Looks like it got hung up on the off set pivot point. How much clearance is there? Looks like it is in perfect alignment to get chewed up on the grease zerk, there are other marks on the pivot point that are also in line with the damage.

Are you talking about the 3 point raising and lowering too fast? If so, there is a control knob somewhere around / under the tractor seat to slow it down by turning in or out.

Clearance about 1 inch.

How bad does the PTO shaft look?Should I replace it or not?

Will it slide all the way together and apart with no effort?

No effort.But what about deep scratch?

 

[K5lwq]

From the picture I can't tell how deep the scratch is. But if it slides in and out then it is not bent. That would be my main concern.

BTW, mine is not coming till tomorrow. The tracking data was incorrect.
