830 PTO Adjustments **Got'r Done**

I need some help on understanding the adjustments for the PTO Clutch and for the PTO Brake.
Manual says that the PTO lever should have 70# of pull, is this 70# from the disengaged position all the way to the brisk snap as it is fully engaged? Or 70# at the brisk snap?

Also on the PTO brake adjustment, on my 830 the PTO is turning with it disengaged. Should the brake be adjusted until the PTO shaft stops turning? That is the way I understand the manual. Then there is a NOTE, that says, with tractor off turn PTO shaft by hand and there should be some drag from the brake until the lever leaves the neutral position and is almost fully engaged, then it will have no drag. I cannot turn my PTO shaft by hand at all, but it turns when not engaged.
And finally, how the heck does a big ole boy squeeze between the 3=point, and the fender and get his big ole hands in that small hand hole?
Thanks
Terry
 
I am no expert,but I have had no luck w/brake even after
disassembling and replacing brake lining,PTO still turns when shut
off.Mine will only stop turning when idling. Lever should have free
travel when engaging then the 70#pressure to overcenter and
engage. The hole is small, find a friend/w small hand or wife.Hope
wheels are not in narrow.
 
Thanks for your reply Paul. One other thing I forgot to mention is the manual does not show a good diagram of what the adjusting collar looks like. From what I seen in the hand hole with a flashlite and a mirror, it looks as though there may be a collar about 3/4" around just behind the lock pin, but I can't tell. Is that the collar, or is the collar large in size? The way I was able to get the PTO to stop turning when disengaged was to lower the brush cutter into some thick weeds and then it stopped. My neighbor mentioned that the oil needed to reach a certain temp for it to stop.
Thanks

Yeah, that hole is none too big. IIRC you can pop the pin with a screwdriver and then move the collar wit the same tool.

Made no difference on mine, need to renew the clutch pack.

What is "IIRC"? And where exactly is the collar?

So I decided the only way I would get'r done was to just dive into it and go for trial and error. With a pin light in my mouth I was able to see the pin, I used a long straight slot screwdriver to release the pin and at the same time turn the adjusting collar counterclockwise till the pin snapped in the first hole. That gave me the 70# pull required. I then checked the PTO shaft to see if it turned as I engaged the PTO lever, it was able to be turned just as it was close to snapping in. I started the tractor and engaged the PTO, then disengaged it and the shaft still turned. So I removed the handhole cover again and loosened the locknut on the brake and turned the screw in about 1 1/2 turns. I then tightened the locknut and put the cover back on and started again, and engaged the PTO and disengaged it. The shaft turned about half way around then stopped . I am leaving the adjustment on the brake where it is for now because it is stopping the shaft from turning. Thanks again to those of you that replied to my post.

Abreviating or useing leters to shorten things up is common practice on forum,---- IIRC "if I recall correctly" ---- HTH "hope that helps", and more. If you look at them most times you can figure them out.

As to the topic, don't ask me how I know that you should tie a good string in the box end of your wrench as you adjust the brake release bolt. mEl

Thanks mEl, I sat here and loooked at that for a long time and couldn't figure it out.
And tying a good string to the box end of the wrench sounds like a great idea and Im sure I know how you know, did you end up having to split the tractor to get the wrench, or did you use a magnet or mechanical grabber?. I was hoping and praying that I don't drop the wrench. A sure grip on it, but then accidents can happen.
Take care,
Terry
 
That sure doesn't sound like any fun. I suppose I was very lucky especially the way I seem to lose grip on wrenches and such, dropping them, sometimes as if I were throwing them. (with age? who knows). For sure if I ever get in there again, I will remember your short tale and tie the box wrench to a good string.
Thanks again for the tip!
