Mine has issues. Sorta jittery and hours don't move. Friend bought one for a 4 speed and will sell it cheap. Will it read correctly on a 5 speed? Other than not having 5th? PTO rpm would be correct? Never drive in 5th anyway. Front wheels wobble if I go too fast.
 
Hey showcrop, did you read my
question the other day about using
a dremmel tool to smooth up inside
of the sleeve on my power
steering? I think it's on page 2 now. Not sure how tight the
tolerance is for that? Belt is off
now and steering is fine.

Yes, I meant to go back to it but forgot. My thought on it would be, How deep is the dent? and can you get the inside ground out enough before the inside diameter gets to be greater than the outside diameter? Perhaps you could go with a combination of grinding and tapping it over a round piece of hard wood. I don't think that there is any great issue with the closeness of fit of the sliding part.
 
It's not terrible. Once you get
part #15 all the way in there it
slides easy. Just gets stuck where
it won't slide all the way back
towards the cylinder end. Tough to
explain. Also the square opening
is bent in a bit on that end. We
tapped it a bit with a cold chisel
and that's how we got it out.
 
The engine speed will read correctly, but the ground speed won't. I can't remember if they make 540 pto rpm at the same engine speed or not.

just look at a picture of the two faces, if the RPM's line up in both places, then it will be the same.

just checked online, survey says- nope. the 840 pto speed line is at 1500 and the 960(5 speed) pto speed line is at 1700 ish rpm. so the gearing inside the trans must be different.

if you can just remember to keep your pto running at 1700 rpm. (engine) instead of 1500 indicated from the 4 speed tach, you're good.

i have to think the engine speed will be the same since there is nothing different between the mechanical drive system from 4 to 5 speed, it all runs through the back of the hydraulic pump, and those parts are all the same.
