My IH 674's PTO slips in heavy brush. The lift and power steering works fine (even while the PTO's slipping). The PTO engages fine and will cut light brush, but slips in heavy grass even at high rpms and low gear. The fluid is clean and full and the hydraulic filter has been changed. I assume the PTO clutch needs to be rebuilt. I don't know the full history of this tractor, but I know it was used with a weak failing hydraulic pump for some time and may have been ran with low fluid at times due to a leak issue. That pump was replaced.
I see a PTO Clutch rebuild kit on this site that comes with discs, plates and springs. I've got a shop manual for the tractor, but I'm a shade tree repairer at best. Is the rebuild something that I can handle? Any pitfalls to avoid?
Thanks
