can anyone help me I need to take off my axle trumpet on my ford 800 tractor any help would be greatly appreciated I sent for I&T manual does"t tell you anything. If I take the 4 bolts around my pto shaft does the whole pto shaft come out
thanks
 
On removing the axle trumpet. Support the trumpet with hoist or jacks and remove the nuts all the way around and slide the trumpet out and off. Take the left side off first (left when you sitting in the seat facing forward). Then remove the differential (heavy), then take the right side off.

I'm assuming you have the wheels off first. Also, be careful, this is very heavy stuff.

On removing the PTO shaft. Yes, just remove the four bolts and the shaft should pull out.

Drain the hydraulic oil and rear end oil before doing either these.

What are you trying to fix?
 
someone put longer bolts in the 2 bottom holes below the pto shaft that holds the hitch bracket and broke the casting so I am trying to decide the easiest way to get inside and make a repair any suggestions appreciated
 
Any way here you go.......

John is right, the holes do not go through into the center housing. So no help there. If they are not leaking, the only repair I have seen done to do a braze build up and then drill and tap new holes. Not a repair for a novice.

My 660 had both broken out also, but the right one was leaking. Some one tried and internal epoxy repair, that repair did not work. I replaced the center housing with a used one. Not too bad a job.
 
Do you have a bone yard near by? That really helps. I'm lucky I have 4 of them within 100 miles and my favorite had a center housing reasonably priced. It was dirty, but in very good condition.

When you go looking, check the pinion shaft spline. Early 800's had a coarse spline and later 801's had a fine spline. Just something to be aware of. I'm not sure when the change took place. If you find one without a pinion shaft or the wrong spline, then you will have to transfer yours. Not a bad job, just another hours work. I would consider a new pinion and pto shaft seal while you are in there.

The hard part of this job is heavy parts. A engine hoist really helps. Plan on a days work just cleaning the new center housing. It critical for the hydraulics.
 
Thanks so much for all the information no yards around here I am starting to look now
Thanks again
 
Not sure where you are, but I would try Long Lane Tractor in Elizabethtown, PA. Shipping might be a killer.
