Went to the farm to pull the pto shaft off the 660 having been unable to engage pto when hooked to bush hog. Disconnected the bush hog and just for kicks tried the pto lever, and it engaged without a problem. Hooked up the bush hog and got 10 acres cut. What might explain why it would not engage with the bush hog shaft attached but would when not? Could the weight of the bush hog shaft coupled with some bearing play cause just enough misalignment at the front end of the pto shaft to cause this? I will pull the pto shaft and replace bearing etc but relieved to have fodder mowed and ready for corn and bean planting.

my guess is that the shaft was not in alignment to engage and could not be moved with the hog attached.. with the hog not attached.. you coul move it.
remember when i aked you to do this very test? IE.. rotate the pto shaft and try to engage it.
i seem to remember you said you did and it wouldn't.
and yet now it does?
different answers?
int he end.. if you have 3/8" of thrust play.. .. you need to fix it. they don't heal. and you can get more damage...

SG - the shaft was easily rotated with hog attached hanging on limiter chains. I even tried turning it and letting it spin while trying to get the shifter in until it stopped.Tried it with the pto shaft shoved as far in as it would travel and as far out as it would come. Pulled inspection plate and tried to engage by hand.I didn't go through all that for kicks. That's the reason I pose the question about the hog shaft weight. You tell me.
