Surprise

[Nute]

Decided today to replace the old leaky PTO seal and this is what I found. Anyone seen this before? Doesn't make any noises or grinding, then again maybe thats cause it's half gone now.

[Nute]

When I took it apart both snap rings were in place where they should have been. Just bought this N about 3 months ago and needed to change the fluid and this is how I found it. It seems to be close to the diffy, not sure though this is my first tractor.

 

[souNdguy]

did you find any old rings in the sump after pulling the shaft? somethings been riding there!

OR.. it was broke and welded and ground down?

[Nute]

Nothing in the sump. Cleaned it all out today. I'll go for the broke and welded option. Maybe I'll just go ahead and replace it while I got the fluid out.

 

[souNdguy]

deffinately a curiosity!

in relation to the pump.. where's the wear mark?

the turned down spot on the PTO shaft.
Is for A steady rest to ride on, while the shaft is being turned between centers in a lathe.
the steady rest is to keep the chatter out.
It is only there for the machining process.
in other words it is made that way.
