Hello,
when we bought my wife's grandfathers tractor the PTO shift lever was cobbled up. from what i can tell, basically someone (hired mechanic i'm sure) clamped a plate to the shaft with a u-bolt and welded the lever to the plate. the weld broke yesterday while testing the new brush hog. luckily that lever is really easy to move so i just grabbed the plate and put it in gear.
I've seen 2 or 3 different levers for that tractor. it is a 1968. i have a picture of what i have, if i can find it, i'll post it.
questions:
1, what lever is supposed to be on it? was their more than 1 type of PTO setup for those tractors? this one has the 2 stage clucth pedal. all the way down is PTO, most of the way down is transmission.
2, i see some include the shaft, how hard is it to change the whole shaft and lever assembly (how most appear online as 1 unit). Do you have to take the top cover off the transmission?
THanks.
