PTO Bearings Replace Pictorial

[Marv 924]

For those who have never done this.

two notes:

The short bar ,right side of tool picture, is made from a piece of 3/8 flat stock. It is 1.772 long and the ends are rounded to fit in the outer bearing bore of the bell.

The ring is 5/16 thick to be used when installing the inner bearing. It sets the bearing to allow installation of the seal.

Hope this will be helpful to someone.

Outstanding!    This needs to be included in the "Wheel Horse Reference" section of instructional threads.

@Marv, terrific , break down and rebuild pectoral , something that I  have added to all my bearings is  lucas  x-tra  heavy duty , polyurea rated , hi temp 560 drop point  , ant sling grease , at walmart , https://www.walmart.com/ip/Lucas-Oil-Xtra-Heavy-Duty-Grease-Green-14-5-oz/36052505  for 5,$  . use this on , spindle bearings and related, mule drive bearings , those 6203 bearings , are typically filled with a generic grease , that quickly starts to whine and gets noisier , a clean out and re grease , make them pretty bulletproof . no offence , intended , just something that i regularly add to any bearing issue , good job , pete

@Marv I really appreciate good "pictures of how to do stuff". For those of us with the willingness to tear stuff apart, but lacking experience, or even the knowledge of what things are called...it's invaluable. Thanks for doing this!

 

Suggestion, parts laid out with written labels (ie. one of @stevasaurus's transmission teardown pictorials, I forget which) is also really valuable. Sometimes I don't even know what stuff is called, so it's hard to search for parts or ask questions that can be clearly understood by knowledgeable people.

 

For example, when working on my car, I had to search through rockauto by category, looking at pictures, to figure out that the piece of cast aluminum that holds my wheel bearing/hub, connects to the tie rods and suspension is called a "steering knuckle".

I think so too. I just haven't learned how to do that.
