Figure 3–2. Tightening Selector Lever Nut
3–5. INSTALLING POWER TAKEOFF (PTO)
Space limitations will determine whether the PTO should be installed before or after
the transmission is installed.
The prescribed backlash between the drive gear (in transmission) and driven
gear (in PTO) is 0.006–0.029 inch (0.15–0.73 mm) or as specified by the PTO
manufacturer.
Determining PTO Backlash
— PTO not installed: backlash can be measured with special tool J 34814
(Figure 3–3). Reference SIL 50-TR-83 (latest revision).
— PTO installed: measure through the inspection port with a dial indicator
while rotating PTO shaft back and forth. Rattling gears indicate too much
backlash. Difficult engagement or whining gears indicate too tight a fit.
Install the PTO unit and gasket(s) flush to the mounting pad; do not force.
Avoid bumping the snapring (Figure 3–4), which could be displaced. Secure
the PTO with six mounting bolts; tighten to 26–32 lb ft (35–43 N·m).
CAUTION: Cork or other soft gaskets must never be used to mount
the PTO. Use only shims or gaskets recommended by the PTO
manufacturer.
NOTE: One gasket (minimum) is required to prevent fluid leakage.
