The pto clutch housing inside splined hub was split at the splines, and the piston was split at it's inside hub. The clutch plates & separator plates were shot. Maibach had salvage hsg. & piston ($$$$) aftermarket clutch plates & agco separator plates. When we first pulled the pto out we heard a metallic clunk & realized the stake nut that goes on the rear-end of the hyd. pump hollow drive shaft had unscrewed itself & had been going round & round on the pto drive shaft. That shaft runs pretty close to the ring gear & the nut didn't even look like a nut ! There was a handful of shavings at bottom of housing. Tag on 8.3 cummins (conversion) says 210 h.p. ! Gonna turn her down to about 150 !!
