Hello,

I am new to tractors being a city boy.  BUT I have a 1951 Oliver 77 RC gas that I am bringing back to life.

I am in the assembly stage and am wondering if I can pull out the PTO shaft and not re use it?  I'm afraid to pull the shaft out all the way...worried about stuff in the transmission falling out. I looked in my service manual and it looks that the shaft just slips through the main shaft and should not have any problem if it is out.

The PTO clutch and things in that area were really messed up and I'll never have a use for the PTO.


Thanks for your help.
