super55 pto tool help

[Thompson Mike]

I have seals leaking behind my pto clutch. I have it all apart and am now at the spider nut behind the pto clutch pack. Book says I need a. Owatonna OTC ED3434 spanner wrench. Does anybody have any other way to get this nut off. Or recommend where to buy that tool if it is still available.


Thanks. Mike

I tried to locate one when I did the same on a 550. Tried Mack, Snapon and others with no luck. Wound up borrowing one from a dealer. 160 mile round trip getting it and returning it. That was about 9 years ago when gas was cheaper. Might be more cost efficient to see if a local machine shop could make it out of a large 3/4 or 1" drive socket, or steel pipe and have it heat treated/tempered for strength.

I just ran a batch of these for the o/u's in the 2255's/2-105's/2150's/etc. I wonder if it would work? If not, I can make you one if I know what dimensions are needed. Let me know the dimensions of what you need and hopefully I can help you.

You might be able to use a tool for the front nut on a 1/2 ton 4WD older truck/jeep axle.
or try a piece of water pipe.
or If I need one again I'd go to a pawn shop buy a Socket with the correct OD and cut the notches you need with a die grinder and cutting wheel.
I was lucky enough to borrow one when I needed it.

And if you make one or get the dimensions I'd take 1 or 2 just to have in the tool box for just such an occasion
Let me know

Thanks guys I will get some measurements out there. It will need to be about 8=10 inches deep to clear the shafts. I am also going to try to find a piece if pipe and try notching it. I will let you know how I do.

I made one for my brothers 550 out of pipe and I welded a chunk of hex stock to it so a normal socket can be used without having to modify it.

Here are the measurements to the tool I need. inside diameter 2 3/8", tooth width 3/8", four teeth needed 90 degrees apart, length of tooth 1/4", thickness of pipe I would say 1/8 - 3/16", socket depth 7",

If anyone out there has this tool could you compare my measurements to an original tool. any help is greatly appreciated

I made one out of pipe too. I just used my grinder to notch out the pipe. It was a heavy walled pipe and worked great for as many times you are going to need one.
