Last Fall I fought a pto which was reluctant to engage or to stop spinning when disengaged. This is a dual clutch. Primary disk does disengage, though had occasional gear grind.
Checked free play today and it was 1.5 where should be .75-1.
When I went to adjust the nut and screw for free play, all I have is a nut and what looks to be a stud. There is no head on the screw so both turn together and the nut cant be tightened to hold position.
Am I correct there should be a head on the screw so once adjusted the free-moving nut can be tightened against the cross shaft arm? Next time I go to the tractor Ill grab the screw with vice grips and try to tighten the set nut. Once free play was properly adjusted the pto worked fine. Just wont stay that way if I cant set that nut.
Can enough clearance be achieved using a jack under the cross shaft arm with clutch pedal disconnected to replace that screw?
