I bought a stalk cutter with 1000rpm pto. 1850 #2 has a 2 speed pto. I bought a used 1000rpm shaft and a new bearing. I followed the direction in the operators manual and changed it over to 1000rpm this evening. When I try to engage the pto, I get a grinding sound and no shaft movement. When I shifted it, I screwed the bolt in and wiggled the shaft to make sure the shift lever was in the right place. The shifter has about 1/8th " showing outside the housing. Now I'm wondering if I have the right 1000 rpm shaft? I didn't think to hold the 2 shafts side by side to compare lengths. Did I do something wrong or are there different length shafts for different tractors? Any ideas? Thanks, Chris
