The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts PTO HELP pleeeease

I wanted to turn the handle ( red arrow ) upside down, and bashed it once after removing the bolt, and the handle fell out. At the same time I heard something getting loose in the inside. And then axle I point to ( also a red arrow ) in the following picture can be moved halfway out, when I put my little finger in the hole on the other side, I can feel something like a nut with teeth inside. It's all loose, and I think it should fit on the lever I just pulled out to turn upside down. But I don't know how the inside looks like. I'd like a picture of the inside, and how easy is that to find ?!?!

So to my question:
Can I remove just the outer part where the ujoint shaft comes out, or do I have to remove the whole lower part of the PTO to get it fixed. Or do I have to remove the whole damned PTO ??? I JUST HATE when I get a bright idea and just want to do a quick fix and it ends up tearing everything apart !!

Hy lastchancetowing, I must admit that I have never seen a PTO quite like the one in your picture, but I would think that that extension piece should be able to be removed from the main PTO housing without removing the PTO from the transmission. You will probably have an oil leak when it is removed, and be careful of your seals when working on it, good luck, and let us know how it went.

It went okay.

I had to remove the small housing, and found a broken pin inside that I need to fix.

Else all is okay, but yes I hade to remove it.. not the whole PTO thou...

I learn every day
