Is this PTO salvageable?
Hey guys,
Rough day on the 149 - I got my tiller hooked up, and when I went to start the tractor, the tiller was pushing me forward as the engine was trying to turn.
Figuring it was something with the PTO, I looked in there, and saw the lever-throws were all chewed up and misaligned. I was having trouble with getting the PTO to disengage last year, so I just kept tightening the link coming off the PTO lever.
After doing a little research, it appears I'm, at minimum, missing the buttons.
Question is, do you think I can get away with just ordering the buttons and new lever-throws (about $70 for everything) or should I also get a rebuild kit?
The PTO itself worked fine and tilled our entire garden, so it's not completely shot.
Appreciate some thoughts on this.
Also, I've seen an adjustment gauge, is that something anyone has a link to or something that's DIY
