pfrederi 18,157 #2 Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) Onan powered D-160 used an electric PTO Why do you want to replace your manual PTO. Electric PTOs engage rather harshly putting stress on various things. Edited April 25, 2021 by pfrederi 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 8,968 #6 Posted December 27, 2022 @dropdown34 agree with @pfrederi on the violent / harsh / squealing start , have recovered a number of manual pto drive set ups , typically a rusty / neglected mechanical set up . lucas red grease , added washers , penetrating oil , check and verify your progress as you go , had nagging problem spots that work with total ease now. w/h problems are rarely a one and done fix , there is typically a drag / bind areas that barely move . this also relates to dry , noisy bearings . only suggestions , good luck with it , pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have 2 machines with electric PTO's... I will never 'willingly' convert a machine to electric. VERY hard on engine components... high stress. Most people don't know/understand that the more load you apply to an engine, the harder the bottom end is working. That's how things wear and break. I'm not saying that electric PTO's hurt engines... I'm just saying that if you have an older engine and you can keep the manual PTO under any circumstance... do so. Don Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joker72 64 #8 Posted December 28, 2022 My question is... where do you source the clutch material to replace on the manual PTO clutch? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
