PTO Removal video
 

Took my PTO off today , made a short video . My daughter held the camera in portrait , real pain finding software to rotate it to landscape .

In the service manual it shows 3 spring clips that are placed between scalloped dish and friction plate pg 2-44 Illust 2-63. I do not have them . Anyone know what they do . Is this why you here chatter . I do not believe I have them on my other motor in my 123 either.

Thanks for the video
 

I wish that I had seen that before I pulled my PTO off the first time! Good documentation.

Well produced.I give it 5 Cubs.
Those little clips are a pain to put in but it is do able.do you have a manual or instructions on rebuilding a PTO?
I do believe Matt G did a write up on his website on pto's.

Great video! I could not for the life of me get 3 of those clips in so I just went with 2 180 degrees apart. Why does just 1 throwout finger always loosen up?

That's a great video. Please make sure you make another when you put it back on. When I bought mine the PTO was sitting in the seat, so after I rebuild it, I need ot figure out how to put it back on.

Wish i saw this earlier. I thought one of my throwout fingers came loose but the disk part that has the fins or whatever broke apart on me. Luckily i Found a pto rebuild kit for it.

Great movie, I have it bookmarked if I ever come to a problem of that sort,

Thanks for your time,:beerchug:

THIS SITE ROCKS,

Spring Clips ?
 

Thanks for the compliments on video . I just love this site so many people already have helped me here Matt G and Yosemite Sam to name a few. ( pay forward )
Check out the " K301A /basic wiring " thread . Yosemite helped me with the wiring .

So what purpose do the 3 clips serve ?

Pulse301 , It is easy to put back on , everything should be all cleaned up and threads for set screws are rust free. Just reverse the process. and use rubber mallet to seat PTO back on bearing all the way . Friction disk should be recessed into scalloped dish so no longer flush . with outside edge of dish. Download the service manual . Mine was sitting just outside video frame on ground as reference. Meant to show it but forgot.

The three clips are the anti rattle springs. They supposedly save ware on the friction disk tabs. The Idea being that the tabs are already up against the basket when you engage the PTO instead of hammering into place.
I have always got one of my kids to hold the first one in place while I put the other two in.

Anti Rattel Springs
 

Those springs live between the clutch lug and basket pully lugs. I had to insert mine with the springs setting outside the clutch plate...pressing down on them and inserting directly into basket pully. I ended up removing the cast front end rather than pull the motor again to do this installation. Got all 3 in with no complaints!
