I have a 6-speed '69 MF-135 with independent PTO and single split clutch. While brush-hogging with a 72" mower deck I clipped a rock and broke a tooth from the PTO constant mesh gear. That was several years ago. After replacing said gear I was good to go for a few more years until darn it, I did the exact same thing. The 1/2" grade 2 shear bolt failed but not before the gear tooth became a casualty also. Has anyone else had this experience? Before I proceed with replacing the gear and once again attempting to steer clear of hard objects, is there anything else to consider?
