Several months ago, I had the 1850 on a mixer wagon turning really hard. There was a grinding noise and the PTO wouldn't turn the shaft. The hydraulics still work.
Finally got it in the shop and pulled the PTO shaft today. The splines at the front are badly worn/damaged.
Is this likely the problem or do I need to look further? Do I need to replace the hub the shaft slides into?
Also, there are some wear/shiny spots on the shaft about 24" from the front end. What might have caused this or is it normal?
Thanks.
