pto removal..

when removing pto does it need to be engaged or disengaged to remove.. i read manual and it says it it just slides out mines not sliding out. 51 8n.. thanks
 
engage state does not matter on an N.. though for the heck of it I usually have it engaged, as some later models need to be engaged, and thus it keeps it simple.

Now.

once you hav ehte bolts out. take a hammer and hit the ears on the side of the flange to rotate the flange. this breaks the pto gasket seal and if there is any rust holdingthe bearing carrier to the center housing.. should pop it.

now, stick a bolt, rod, etc thru the hole in the pto shaft and then tap on that with a hammer.. or use a slide hammer to slip it out. it should only have an inch or 2 at most of drag from the ebaring carrier in t he center housing, if ANY at all. if there is no movement or more resistance. mor ethan likely, the pto shaft rear splined end is twisted. some times you can get it out about 2" and then hang up on the coupler. other times you get hung in the pump.

all depends on how severe it is

Yes its stuck. Im pretty sure. Im gonna rebuild lift cylinder anyway. I forgot we had ball games the rest of the weeken and easter on sunday... i got side covers off and bolts numbered and put back on holes. Got bolts loosened in top cover. Fluid drained. Guess im gonna have to cut pto out. Will post nack def. When i get cover off. Thanks

robably just a hope, sorry to say. Generally the twist is ahead of hyd pump where PTO coupler slips over shaft. This twist keeps the shaft from sliding reward through the hyd pump splines. Due to close spacing of pump to PTO coupler, you can't access shaft ahead of pump to cut it, so you have to cut it aft of pump and remove the pump with the cut off piece of shaft still in it. Then once out of tractor, cut it again in front of pump, but aft of twist, so that you can then remove the cut off piece out the rear of pump. Often, if not always, the pump still will not come out with the length of shaft sticking out the front, so then the tractor must be split and then cut the shaft (front of pump), with torch or saws-all once drive shaft removed to allow saw access. Save removing top cover, by grinding splines away, since no saw access needed with spline grinding approach.
If split required, probably your greatest problem will be a way to support the two halves of the tractor, depending on what equipment you have or don't have available.
 

Shane,

If you have the fluid drained already, you may want to try for luck and loosen the hydraulic pump first and see if that will give you some slack on the PTO shaft. Perhaps if the shaft is only twisted a little bit it may give you enough wiggle room to get it through the pump. Make sure the pump is loose enough to wiggle a bit. I would try that before cutting or splitting, just in case.

I had one that stuck about an inch out, I snatched on it a little, then it was stuck out and would not go back in. I leaned in on it and it smacked back and bit a chunk out of my thumb. Quick trip inside to get bandaged up and I went back out, loosened the pump and snatched on it again (no tools, just flesh) and it released. I got lucky with the shaft, my thumb...not so much!

Crossing my fingers for ya!

Thanks guys... i had seen on another board that someone had just split theirs about 3 inches using all thread, in each bolt hole. then slid it back together.I dont have really any thing to support it with...
