PTO Overide clutch

[gblj]

I have a override clutch on my 8n, I have replaced two roller pins
in two months, the override clutch wiggles a little on the PTO
shaft, the PTO shaft is good, does not wiggle without the overide
clutch on it, my question is, does the inside of a override clutch
ware out?

Yes they will wear out inside-keep em greased good and they last a long time..Have one on my 2N that has wiggle to it but it still works fine--gonna keep running it till it quits..If yours is shearing the roll pin, the OrC probavly needs replaced..

 

[souNdguy]

yes they wear. also.. if the ID of the ORC and the OD of your pto each have wear.. then you may be in a situation wher ethe roll pin is in the job of transmitting drive power... thus limiting it's life..

Thanks for the information, I will run the ORC until she quits, then get a new one.

Is this a new ORC ?? There are two different sizes for the PTO Shaft..

My impression is that the made-in-India ones often fit a bit loose.

BTW according to the old Hub City instruction sheet that has been floating around ORCs should be greased much more often than I suspect most of us are doing - several times a day when they are being worked hard - and also regularly dismantled, completely, cleaned, and relubed.

Here is that old Hub City instruction sheet....

If the implement driveshaft binds while telescoping the roll pin will shear while raising/lowering the implement.

Grease grease grease, I have ORCs on 3Ns 30+ yrs of bush hoggen and tilling . Grease grease and more grease. Cheap. Push grease till it pushes out old. Wipe off all expelled grease cause it will fly everywhere even on operator, don't ask me how I know. Grease all other fittings ontractor cheap insurance. I use Lithium base, dealers choise all mine were also made in USA. Master of the obvious L. B,

TOM I didn't mean to post under your post as if you were were giving bad info, yours is good info. L.B,

 

[gblj]

No this is not a new ORC its a few years old, I have replaced
3 roller pins, 2 in the last month, I am brush hogging weeds
some as tall as the 8n.

 

[Tom N MS]

L.B. no problem at all....yea, and justin case someone missed it--grease , frease and more grease on ORC and other things with grease fittings--can"t hardly overdo it with grease..just be careful and don"t overdo places with rubber boots--don"t want to burst em..

Just replaced my 25+ yr old orc due to the little spring strips broke and the orc freewheeled. The pic above shows insides exactly like mine was. I greased it religiously, but things eventually wear out. Mine was $51.xx walkout price, made in India I think...we'll see.
