I have a 286 bush Hog I pull behind my Super M. I have had it for about 10 years now. Recently the plastic sleeve over the PTO shaft that acts as a guard cover is coming loose at the slip yoke end where it hooks up at the tractor. (In the pics you can see where the plastic bolt have broken away.)I greased it EVERY TIME I used it,but it is coming apart now.
I can get parts to repair it,I am sure.But I DO NOT really feel I need it on there anyway.The the hitch mounting on the mower pretty much covers over the top of the shaft if it would break a U joint and I am no where going near the PTO when it is running.
My question is: should I get parts to repair it,or should I just remove the plastic cover completely and be done with it totally????
Thoughts,opinions??? (I posted this over in "Implement Alley" also,but I value many of the opinions I get in this IH/Farmall section.)
