This is on my �44 M. If you look at the bottom of the PTO shifter rod, there is supposed to be a little lever that connects the shifter rod to the gearbox. On my tractor, the lever is missing, and it looks like there�s just a chunk of metal left. See the attached pictures. Where the lever should be is just a shiny chunk of metal. Looks like someon snapped the lever off, or something.

Is there a way to install a new lever without having to drain out all of the gear oil? It there a way to install a new lever without having to tear out the whole PTO assembly?

I can probably get a set of vice grips on what's left of the lever to turn the PTO on and off, but I sure would rather fix it the right way.

If tearing it out is the only next solution why not try this!
Use a piece of 1/4" X 1" strap about 4" long.
Drill and file it so that it is a tight fit over the stub. Attach a welder ground to the strap (prevents current in bearings, a bad thing) and weld the shaft to the strap. Weld for three seconds and cool with a running garden hose, then remove slag. Cool the weld between each 3 sec. weld to prevent/limit heat transfer down the shaft. Good luck, it was welded to start with, but before assembly.

Here's the pictures, FYI, these were taken with the PTO guard off the tractor.

Yep, back it up on to a steep hill so the tractor is facing downwards. All the oil will run to the front, and you can do whatever you want to the PTO unit.

I also agree that you should just get a complete unit. The entire unit must be removed and disassembled to replace that lever anyway. There's no way to do it from the outside.

If you don't want to drain out the oil, back onto a hill or trailer. Leaving the back of the tractor upwards, causing the oil to flow towards the front. Be sure to lock BOTH brakes, leave shifter in 1st gear or reverse and block BOTH back wheels to prevent the tractor from rolling away. Remember safety first.

well, I have replaced the pto dust seals off a farmall M before. No big deal. I know you don't want to, but drain the 13 gallons out. Remove the assembly, and tear that guy out, probably not that big a deal to remove. And heck, just install a new complete assembly, cause just purchasing that portion, some fella is going to have to tear it out, just like you need to. Probably no more than 20$ from a salvage yard.
