[quote=&quot;H. Deckler&quot;:3iy2vqdg]Brad, You forgot to tell that the snap ring that holds the PTO shaft in (around the bearing) needs to be removed and the shaft pulled partway out or the shift rail will not be able to move forward the required amount. Rotating the PTO shaft while moving the shift rail usualy allows the shift collar to be moved easier.
Also the 540 RPM shaft is longer and should not go in all the way when the shift rail is in the 1000 RPM position, forcing it will wedge the internal saftey mech. and require complete removal of the PTO asembly to repair.

Ok so i get the pushing in or out of rod right lower corner. Tractor didn't come with &quot;owners Manual&quot;. So if you have it and can scan that particular info about pto shaft needing to bo slid out some, to shift would SURE appreciate that. PTO does run, no load, no implements on it. If it was damaged from not changing speed selection properly would that be obvious no load and activating pto?

Has single pto shaft, what do you mean 540 shaft is longer? theres a different shaft for each rpm range thats needed? Or pto shaft itself is to be moved in or out depending on pto rpm selected?
