front pto
 

The front pto on my WF 128 was in pretty rough shape the main body was pretty messes up so at Portland to today I picked up a new main body and hoping the guy knew what he was talking about. He told me that all the front clutch's were the same only thing different was some had one pressure spring and some have two. Ok when I get home I compare the two the junk one has little tabs cast into it that hold the pressure springs and the one I bought has none can I still put two pressure springs in the one I bought?:bash2:

This may help............ PTO

ok I have type A so according to this I can't put two pressure springs on type A Right?

No, you just set it up at a type "B". Look at the part numbers.

NOPE.....YOU said you have a 128. The 128 is a WF tractor thus it would have to be Type B, that is if your tractor has the OEM PTO

I have the PTO that came with tractor. The set screws had to bored out to get it off the shaft. Can I drill next size bigger and retap the holes? Will this affect anything ? :bigthink: Stick with me, this is my first time working with a Cub.

Next time you have to drill out a set screw, use a 1/4" ( .250 ) drill and only drill in far enough to have a good, centered starting point in the end of the set screw.

Then finish drilling thru the set screw(s) with a 13/64" ( .203 ) drill. That is the size drill you use for tapping 1/4-20NC and will allow you to clean the threads with minimal damage. No need to drill oversize.

was able to drill and tap 5/16-18 this should work right? :bash: when I took the clutch off originally I used 1/4" to bore out set screws next time I will use my head and drill smaller
I looked at the pto diagram above part #5 all 3 types are the same part number but are little different between the A and B with the 6 little tabs sticking out of the B type my original question is can I make a narrow frame pto into a wide frame by just adding one more spring or do those tabs make a difference? if so I want to make the narrow frame pto into a wide for a spare and use my original on my tractor now

here is a pic of the two pto's

Just make sure the bottom ( most inner) set screw is pointed.

When I got my 125 back in '03, it had a wide frame PTO. I never took notice of it ( as it worked perfect ) until I made my first brass PTO button. ( in other words, it'll work just fine)
