Hello All,
I've got a 1750 Oliver with a bad clutch in it. we've got the engine all ready to pull except for the PTO shaft. I was reading this thead:
http://www.yesterdaystractors.com/cgi-bin/viewit.cgi?bd=oliver&th=149003
but it doesn't seem to fit exactly what I'm seeing.
I removed the C-clip which allowed me to thread a bolt into the plug (not sure what else to call it) and pull that out. Then I got a longer bolt and was able to thread into the PTO shaft itself. Unfortunately I can only pull out about 7 inches. I can feel it pull out at the far end, and come out about 7 inches or so (didn't put a tape on it) and then engage into the next set of splines but it only moves about 1/4 inch before it stops.
OK, so here is where I'm not quite sure what to do. There is a set of splines that are flush with the back of the tractor, it looks like that bit is only a few inches long, does that need to come out. When I feel around in their with my finger, it seems that there is another c-clip or ring of some kind and that is what the PTO shaft is bumping into I'm pretty sure, but it has so way to be removed from inside the PTO shaft hole.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Eric
