IH 354 PTO questions

[Wthunter1]

Good morning everyone. My dad bought an International 354 almost 30 years ago. It did everything we needed it to do but since the day he bought it the PTO lever had to be held in gear but with as little as he used it he didn’t care. Well as you can imagine the PTO finally gave up and won’t stay in gear with an implement attached. I’ve studied a little bit and what I’ve found the most likely culprit to be is that the PTO output shaft and whatever shaft the locking collar slides onto to spin the output shaft has worn down where the collar joins them. A couple questions still remain. What is the shaft called that the pto output shaft joins to? When looking for parts I see multiple diagrams for different styles of that shaft. I’m not sure if that’s true or not but is there anyway to tell what style shaft is needed from the model/serial number?

Hello Wt…, welcome to YT! Here is the manufacturer online parts catalog for your tractor. CNHI IH 354 parts catalog The PTO drive diagrams are in the Attachments Functional Group starting at 6-21. The question is does you tractor have a live power PTO with a two stage clutch? That mean you can push the clutch about halfway down to stop tractor motion and the PTO will continue to turn? Or is it the standard gear drive that stops turning when the wheels stop? If it is the latter your proper diagram is 6-27. I suspect none of the parts are available new, very likely used parts is your only option.

Thank you! The PTO definitely turns even when the wheels are stopped

See this youtube video, it is on a B414 but 354 is the same.
