Over running coupler

ThundermanND · Sep 12, 2016

OK, I'm stumped. I have one of these couplers on my Ford 8N and I wanted to remove it for servicing. I can't figure out how it comes off. I removed the two set screws looking for a pin or something to push to release it but nothing. Under the heading of "fits tractor" it says "all with cross pin hole including Ford". Anyone have a suggestion? That is what the Hub City Internet page says.

Any ideas?
Thanks

It should be under the grease zerks. Remove them and the pin should be underneath.

Remove the grease fittings or plugs and rotate the over riding clutch by hand to line up the 5/16" roll pin, drive the pin out with a drift punch or bolt and you should be able to remove the ORC from the PTO shaft. It may be hard to see the roll pin because of the grease, but it is there..

thank you. I looked but didn't see so I'll look again.

Have to rotate to locate

Yeah, the grease zerks cunningly double as rollpin retainers which is wny there are two of them - you got to take both out to hammer
the pin through.

I have run into some rollpins, on the gold Indian ORCs, that are so stiff a fit that by the time you hammer them in they are so mangled
as to be hard to tell what you are looking at when you look down the hole, and very difficult to remove.

Oh if you don't already have them get the Hub City ORC instructions that have been posted here a few times, they show what's inside
and tell how to maintain them - they are much more demanding that one might suspect.

I removed my ORC with roll pin exactly ONCE, then replaced it with an ORC with the quick release button.
If you regularly remove/install the ORC (I do, so I can use a PTO shaft cover) you may want to consider doing the same - it's a lot easier.

That's ok, unless you have a 1 1/8" PTO. They don't make push button ORC's for that.

For the original poster...stick something like an ice pick in the hole, when it goes on down through, you know it's in the hole in the roll pin.

Sorry, forgot about that!

(I have the 1 3/8" conversion.)
