960 pto

grandpa Love · Oct 11, 2016

Today was maintenance day on the 960
and 640. New fluids, oil changes.
Check plugs, points gaps. And on 960
fix leaking pto shaft. Easy enough
but found this when we pulled shaft.
What ya reckon it is? Don't look
like a new break. I dunno.

Just a guess, but it looks like the left ring is cast iron, and considering where you found it, there may have been an improper assembly or just a bad bearing in the past, which caused the bearing to lock up and turn in the housing, and caused the housing to wear until that ring was cut free. If this is the case you will need a new center housing. They are not hard to find and should be inexpensive.

Oddly the pto shaft doesn't have any
play in it. You can bushhog for
hours no issues. I'm hoping it's an
old piece from somewhere in last 60
years. We inspected everything, all
looked good.
