@pfrederi  question , doing a search on make up parts , that main needle bearing is obviousely subjected to sudden intense heat . anyone done any lubrication upgrades on that bearing ? my own take on the issue  would be to detail the problem areas , connections , a softer start like @kpinnc  suggested , and a high drop point grease , like 560 deg , lucas x-try heavy  duty , anti sling ,polyurea , rated . think that combo would make that unit , dramatically less violent . detailing each , issue , would make a change worth trying . dare I  say , thats what I  would try  . pete

There are two ball bearings in the electric PTO.  The only one i have ever found failed was the outer one.  i did replace the larger inner one once just because I had it apart...None of the large bearings I looked at ever showed any signs of overheating. Not sure lubing the bearing would have any impact on the suddenness of engagement...

Get too much grease in there and it might end up on the clutch surfaces.

      417A Clutch Seized When Mowing, How Do I Fix?
      By the jeep driver
      My daughter was using the Wheel Horse rider to mow, I was push mowing.  She drives over to me and says, "Dad, the blades aren't turning." I look at the mower, she's got the blades engaged (lever forward) but nothing is moving.  I disengage the blades, and re-engage... nothing.  No movement from the belt nor clutch.  Then I notice the smell, and look closer, the belt is so hot is melting on the clutch.  Or rather, the clutch is so hot it's melting the belt.  Melting occurred. 

      While the clutch is disengaged, I can spin the clutch freely; and whilst it's engaged, it won't move. 

      So, what did I do now?  Peter told me to lube that needle bearing, but I couldn't find a write up/how to anywhere, so I was putting it off until after the leaves were done falling in the Fall.  I haven't taken anything off yet, other than the pins that hold the pinion and such, and the little brake pad.  I see there are two snap rings, assume they come off, and then the assembly slides out as a whole? 

       
      Some pictures of the clutch, can anyone tell if it's usable from them?

      270H 72106 Electrical issue
      By decvt79
      My 1999 270H with 48” deck is having an issue getting power to PTO.   Checked PTO with jumper to battery and it worked fine and I’ve actually been cutting grass using the jumper for awhile.  I checked power from PTO switch to PTO and there is none.  I checked PTO switch and it appeared OK but I replaced it anyway and still no power to PTO.   Then checked brown/tan wire leading to switch and there is none.   Could the issue be the NMIR module and is there a good way to check it.  If bad, where is the best place to get a replacement and do other brands/models have NMIR a modules I can use.    Also, would suppling battery power directly to PTO switch and bypassing NMIR result in switch working.

      What am I doing wrong? ‘68 Charger 12
      By BrianKoch
      Hello gentleman, 
       
      Problem: will not crank on its own, will crank with jump box—but still not fire
       
      Recent things I did prior to this issue: cleaned fuel filter, replaced battery cables, replaced cable from ignition to starter
       
      I have my test light out and am probing around. 
       
      There is no power at ignition/magneto wire or the ignition/starter wire
       
      There is power everywhere else

      D180 Front PTO rotation
      By BMW1
      What direction does the front PTO Pulley turn on a wheel horse D180 with a Kohler K482 as you face the front of the tractor?
       
      I want to get a hydraulic pump for a Johnson 10 loader I will be mounting to tractor and want to make sure I get a pump that rotates the correct direction.
