How far can you extend a PTO shaft?
How far can you extend a PTO shaft?
The distance from the center of the drawbar hole to the end of the pto shaft should be no more than 20″ and no less than 14″.
Can you straighten a PTO shaft?
Subject: RE: Can you press-straighten a pto shaft? It will be fine as long as you get it straight enough to slide freely in the female half. If it binds, you can take out the tractor bearings or worse.
Are all PTO shafts the same size?
Modern 540 RPM PTO shafts are the same size. The 1000 RPM PTO shafts on larger tractors are different. The two speeds most commonly used with tractor PTO shafts is 540 and 1000 rpm and the PTO shafts can come in different sizes and lengths.
How long should my PTO shaft be?
Elite Member. Minimum overlap of the two shafts should be around 6″ – more is better. Maximum length should give you about 4″ from your tractor’s PTO point when fully compacted (slid together). This allows for easier attachment and allows the 3PH to be raised and lowered without binding.
Can a PTO shaft be turned on a tractor?
Be sure both collar on the equipment’s shaft and the PTO on the tractor is clean. A little oil on each sometimes helps. Lining up the grooves is easier if you turn the PTO shaft on the tractor (should be able to do this with one hand) rather than the PTO shaft on the equipment.
Can a collar be attached to a PTO shaft?
You should be able to get the grooves lined up and the collar started onto tractor’s PTO shaft before having to deal with the spring clip. Once the collar just barely starts to slide on the tractor’s PTO shaft you will have to deal with the spring clip and keep the collar lined up with the tractor’s PTO.

What happens when you cut a PTO shear bolt?
The bolt shears under a designated amount of torque. When you hit a rock when cutting the idea is the pin would break and the PTO will spin freely and not powering the machinery. After the bolt is sheared the tractor should be stopped, the obstruction cleared, and a new bolt put into place.

What should I do if my PTO link is off center?
Get off the tractor and give the line-up a once over. Once you are certain everything is perfect straddle the PTO shaft and pull into place. Although everything was perfectly even and lined up the shaft will be off-center. Mutter a small obsenity about the impossibility of these relational physics.
