The PTO on the 630 has been noisy from the belly of the tractor this summer but I just haven't had time to look into it with my dad's health problems and the nursing home stuff taking up so much time. My plan was to tear into it next winter. Well, I'm forced into it now. Bearing went out and the gear ground itself through the front of the first reduction cover. Hopefully tomorrow I will have time to pull it apart to have a first hand view of the damage. I've been wanting to renew the right crankshaft bearing anyway so I can kill two birds with one stone. I was thinking of patching the hole but there's a crack going out to the bolt hole so I might be picking up a different reduction cover.
