Push ring PTO coupling

[Ford850]

I have NO problem using WD-40, it works just fine for me...

I also MUCH prefer the button to the ring!

I use the method mcfarmall described...

I've always preferred the button style too. The ones I have used were large enough to push in easily. Does your new BB720X have a ring style?

Thank goodness no one has mentioned using K-Y Jelly!

Hey it's non-staining and will wash off very easy :thumbsup:

Thanks for the suggestion I will see if that will work for me tomorrow morning thanks John N

Yes, but if the front half of my old Woods hog, that has the button style "properly" fits, I'm going to slide it in,

and use it!

I was afraid of that, since I've read the ring style is the most used now. I just ordered my BB720X today.

either is better that the twist type

When you say hold the ring back. The only movement at the ring from its normal position was towards the tractor. Do I push the ring forward towards the tractor then push the pto assembly onto the tractor spline cheers John N

I bought a bush hog with one. I told the dealer when I bought the next one that it would be sent back if it didn't have the push pin on the yoke.

Sell it.

Got one of those with our PTO generator. With the safety cowling it's physically impossible to install. Spend 30 minutes cussing at the thing and finally just used the PTO shaft from the flail mower instead.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned when you 'pull' the ring back is to use both hands... (after lubing both the PTO shaft & the coupling with a lanolin lubricant) I cradle the coupling in the palm of my hands, then 'pinch' the ring back between thumb a fingers...

Once I've got it sliding onto the shaft, I can release the ring either before or after I've advanced it regarding the PTO groove. You can hear & feel it lock into the groove.

Then it's just a matter on getting/cleaning all of the grease that has jumped onto your clothing... and then everything that you've brushed up against... which should take a few days. :laughing:
