Hi all,
I pulled off the PTO cover to start finding the source of a PTO leak. I have read about the trouble with the thrust washer dropping blocking the re-entry path of the shaft. So before pulling out the PTO, maybe the fix is not so bad. If I only replace the gasket that sits inside this PTO cover is that enough? That is where the leak is, around the shaft. The PTO shaft has no play or wiggle in it at all. I am wondering what are the symptoms that something is broken or worn out in the PTO besides just an oil leak.
The edge of the rubber seal that faces out of the tractor looks rough but I do not know how important that is to making a seal.
