PTO adjustment woes
 

Just tried to readjust my pto since I found one throw out lever real loose after I shredded a wear button. I have the correct tool, but I still end up with a lever or two somewhat loose. Do you adjust one completely first then move to the next or bring them all down together as I was doing. Now the way it sets I cannot move one and have to press hard to move the other two. Am I good to go or do I take it completely apart and start over. Sorry if I'm rambling worked all night and going to bed. Thanks

I find this happening as well, over the weekend my PTO stopped working completely, I pulled the PTO unit and discovered all 3 "lock" nuts in the basket...

I go sort of back and forth with the initial nuts.. until I reach a place where the guide tool is perfect... then I attach the "lock" nuts...

I would check your springs... both the pressure plate and throw out...

You might have to creep one down a thread and then back it up..

:biggrin2.gif:Well I took everything apart and inspected it found nothing out of place. So it is all back together except I used aircraft self-locking shoulder nuts in place of stock jam nuts. I can still move all three levers, but gage says its good. It's not like they are flopping around I just don't think I should be able to move them at all. Still new to the cub cadet

I think something is amiss. Do you have a new spring (three point) for the throw out?

No, the PO rebuilt the pto so I looked at everything and all appeared good with no wear. I am not having any issues with what little I've run it, voltage took a flying leap so waiting on a new one. Will keep you posted though.
