Have a question regarding the pto shaft and the gears connecting. I have a 37 A flatback that is a puller which I purchased this way. I am wanting to lighten the load a bit and remove the pto shaft to soon put on an aluminum pto housing. I have removed the cast housing and the pto shaft, is there something else to remove before I put the housing back on?? It looks like the inside end of pto shaft fits into a formed piece that connects to a series of gears, however I have tried to feel around in there "without" removing anything else and don't seem to see what else should/could come out without taking out axles, bull gear,ect. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

As Mike M replied, it's a lot of work to get the remaining 2 shafts out. They will weigh approx 18lbs including the shifter lever. You don't have to remove the axles, but you do have to remove the 1st reduction gear cover, the trans top cover (shifter) and both transmission shafts and all the gears, and shifter shafts. There's also a snap ring on the shaft that you are seeing from the rear that can be a pain to get off. You just have to decide how bad you want to lose that 18 lbs. Mike

Those pto bevel drive gears are the first thing in the case and the last out. So everything will have to come out to remove them.

Ok, would it hurt to leave those bevel gears in for the time being, or does the pto shaft actually hold it all together?

The shaft just fits over or into depending on model and is just really an extension. It shouldn't matter at all. Plus you can keep the lever disengaged so they don't turn.
