8N PTO question

I posted last week re: PTO problems with my 8N. It seems that it no longer will stay engaged when I shift it "on". A couple of folks suggested it was more likely than not, a worn or busted bearing or maybe a worn gear.

I'm wondering, how do I get access to the PTO drive and next, will the drive assembly need to be taken out for repair, and if so, how is that done?

Thanks

Howdy, I am looking at this job myself. Do what the others say and get the I&T FO4 manual as well as the master parts catalog. To access the PTO mech, the tractor needs to be split behind the trans. The PTO mechanism has a shaft with detent grooves, a shift fork, a gear collar, a gear that bolts to the back of the aux shaft of the trans, a bearing, and a housing. If you remove the inspection plate with the PTO lever on it, you can see most of this assembly if you drain some oil. I figure the collar, gear and bearing are good candidates for replacement on my 8N. Salvage place near here syas they can take care of me "off the shelf." It looks daunting, but I think it won't be that bad once I get after it.

Good luck with yours,

Arne

PTO pump body is part of bottom plate of PTO. First drain 5 gals of oil from trans/pto/dif., then pull out PTO shaft from rear. Remove top cover. Now you will be able to see all and may spot problem. You will need a new gasket for cover plate. DO NOT TRY TO REPLACE COVER PLATE WITHOUT A NEW GASKET OR YOU MAY BE SORRY. There is a oil passage in it for high pressure.

Stretch,
I can't help you pin point the trouble you're having with your PTO. But if you get yourself an
I&T FO4 manual and read it over you'll be less
afraid to open up your inspection covers, pull the PTO shaft out and/or remove the hyd pump so you can figure out what is wrong with things.
I was afraid to do much to my tractor till I bought a manual and READ it for a few evenings.
It's got lots of helpful diagrams and pictures.
And as you recall a picture is worth...
Then when you understand enough about your PTO to ask good questions the helpful folks on this board will be better able to help you.
Please understand that I aint trying to be smart here. Just helpful.
