1st time posting, long time lurker!
owned this little beasty a couple of years and been a great toy for my wife (her other car is a tractor sort of thing)
and every year when i take off, put on the snowblower, i run into the same issue. Though i documented "somewhere"
Anyway, the issue is
getting the collar on the pto driveshaft hooked up.
I can slide shaft on.
Inside the female side are 3 ball bearings that are tight. There seem to be 2 collars on the SB shaft. The collar closest to the tractor (vs the one closer to the SB) removes the tension on those balls.
But.... I cannot slide the assembly further onto the shaft... I am holding the collar back while trying to get the whole assembly onto the shaft but it just won't go any farther. It is "kind of" on which is dangerous .
The shaft and female side are NOT keyed.
I can see there are rounded "divots" that are probably the recievers for the ball bearings.
Cannot get them to that point and LOCKED in.
What am I missing. I KNOW it is simple but.... help!!
I figured out how to remove and install last year but it is always 6 months later
OY!
thank you
