I purchased this tractor last month and was given the PTO guard as part of the package. The guard slips over the housing of the PTO, but my housing has a grease fitting in the area where the owners manual says there should be a plug. I have read other posts regarding the 430W PTO, and it says the PTO is independent of the rear end, meaning I SHOULD be able to remove the grease fitting without draining the transmission oil. Hmmmm. With the grease fitting in existence, does that mean it has grease in it instead of the recommended oil? Then next, if I install the PTO guard, it seems that I can no longer lubricate the PTO without removing the guard.... Is that true? Someone please enlighten me. Thanks in advance. P.S. I don't know how to remove the second picture of the guard.... sorry.
