Pete_23 got me inspired to work on the IPTO in my SMTA again. A few days ago he said:
I trashed the PTO dynoing the tractor 5+ years ago. The mechanic running the dyno adjusted the bands and it still slips.
I am running into problems "just pulling the back plate off." I took the four bolts out of the seal retainer and popped it off. The problem is there is no nut in there. There are two different sizes of lock rings and a bearing.
Also, does anybody happen to have a picture of the special puller? Maybe it will be easy to figure out what I need when I get in there.
Here is what I see.
(quoted from post at 21:15:55 05/11/13) First off, did you adjust to try to stop the slippage? To replace the bands you need to just pull back plate off of pto unit. Take seal retainer off, nut on shaft, then rear plate. It requires a special puller to do so but one could be made up. Bands from CASEIH are "like 400 bucks" each. Often times you can exchange the tw bands, brake and engagement one as the brake band seldom wears very much. Be carefull when getting plate off so pto unit does not work out.
