the handle and shaft are fine…looks internl but I'll let you know what I find when I tear the lift box off. Thanks for the info guys!
where is the shear pin located. It has worked fine for years and I believe this fall when I was brush hogging is when it stopped working. i remember it working fine then suddenly not engaging . I finally got it to engage again to finish the brush hogging and that was the last time i used the PTO. Now I cant get it to engage at all.
sorry for the late response. I just got around to getting a chance to try things. The PTO engages in the down position. I have tried starting it engaged and disengaged and nothing works. when the lever is all the way up in the engaged position and you attempt to engage it by pushing the lever down, it will grind very briefly but thats it. Not sure where to start with this.
Hello all:
I thought I would just reply to this instead of starting a new one. My PTO will not engage on my 284. It grinds while trying to engage it and then nothing. Is it a clutch problem or something inside the drivetrain and what are my steps to fix it? Thanks for any info!
replaced the couplers, ball bearings, washers and snap rings….works like a charm. Thanks yet once again to Tommy at Afortable for the parts and solution. Thanks to the rest of you for the input!!
I found the bearings on the rear drive shaft (as they fell out) but haven't had much time to do any further inspections. I couldn't even see how they would go back in honestly. Hopefully I'll be able to call Tommy on Tuesday and order what I need. Maybe both front and rear are gone. In either case does anyone have the parts break down of how it gets reassembled?
I could use some help from you all again. I have a 284 with the same problem. It worked a couple of days ago and the next day I almost got stuck several times brush hogging. I checked the bearings you were talking about….on the rear part of the drive shaft where it goes into the trans and they are still there. If you attempt to turn the drive shaft by hand it seems to be engaged. The shift lever seems much easier to move now and I took off both shifter plates on the top of the trans and drained the oil out—-everything that I can see in there looks ok—no broken gears however where the shift lever engages the gears is very hard to see. I picked the front end up with the bucket and the front wheels spin freely. Should I be tearing the front dif. apart next? any ideas?????
