The best I know, the Narrow Frame style PTO is really only supposed to have one friction disk in it.

It looks like the end of the crank was rubbing on the back of the spring, if that is the case the bearing is too far back on the crank (the bearing should be flush with the end of the crank).

In any event, whatever was rubbing the spring has caused it to get hot and now it doesn't "spring" as it should.

You may be able to get by with just putting a new spring in it (if you can find one).

Not "looking into" the problem when it first started is an expensive lesson that I think a lot of us have learned the hard way.

Probably best to check the bearing before you put it back together.

Good luck with your pto.
