Neighbor that owns the 4020 PS that I have in pieces is coming over Monday night to survey the PTO situation -he is worried about the cost of repair to the PTO that does not stop - I have the valves removed from the left side and the clutch pack assembly out and sitting on the bench.
I want to continue splitting the tractor and replacing the brake -hopefully it has not spun in the casting when I get there
I checked on the parts at break on Friday -the new brake assembly subs up and you need to order the idler gear as well for close to $700? Is this correct or did I read wrong?
It is crazy at this point to stop the repair, but I don't own the tractor and these guys are afraid to spend money -from here on possibly a few gaskets, the roll pins, clutch disc,brake assembly and the repair is done.
My worry is that with a powerful rebuilt engine, and a non stopping PTO, somebody will get hurt, but I can hear already what he will say -"pto hasn't stopped for years, don't need it stopped now" - they said they did want the pto fixed, but before the rebuilt engine cost $5000.
The worst is if they did want it put back together without repair, then in 6 months change their mind and want it fixed---
Any thoughts?
