Since you have the service manual, you will be aware that you need to check for condition of the intermediate gear and that the thickness/ number of gaskets between PTO box and the torque tube determine the backlash between intermediate & idler gears, which is specified at 0.004". If one gasket allows you to engage the PTO without difficulty, I'd stick with that. But, if it is really difficult, you might add another gasket. [Reply]   [No Email]
