Econnolly 3 #1 Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) I recieved a new pto “bell “ for my 520 pressed in the inner roller bearing and outer ball bearing sets… on the tractor it doesn’t spin as freely as I feel like it should … does it need to “break in” or did I perhaps do something to the inner roller bearing ?

8ntruck 7,183 #5 Posted December 10, 2022 Are the bearings seated all the way into the clutch bell? I'm thinking the stub shaft on my clutches has a little bit of end play - maybe .030" to .060". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,762 #6 Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) The last time I replaced the INNER BEARING, I pressed it in too far, and I had the same 'slight resistance' as you have. Having done that...too far in... 'twas nearly impossible to reach in...with a bearng puller... to 'hook' it a pull it back a little bit. If it is pressed in too far, the bearing will tend to be toward the end of the crankshaft, rather than back toward the center of it. IMHO: Correct positioning would be to press the bearing in, just enough to tap the SEAL in behind it...no more. Just my experience...
