When I had my top cover off on my 8N, I changed the PTO to a 1 3/8" so I could use a quick detach ORC. Well, I gave the 8N a good workout today mowing brush. I worked about two hours.
That quick attach ORC doesn't work as good as the regular one did. With the regular pinned on one I could stop and shift gears without waiting for the drive shaft to spin down. It worked beautifully. I don't worry about the drive shaft pushing my tractor forward, I just liked to be able to shift gears with the shaft still spinning.
With the quick attach one I have to wait for the shaft to come to a full stop to shift gears or it will grind. I pumped it full of grease until it was coming out of the unit. It just doesn't work as good as the old one did.
Trouble is, I can't even put the old one back on since it's for a 1 1/8" shaft. :evil:
