Hey geys, 300U s/n 7090 PJI got the brakes all done, the shaft seal replaced. I drained the gear oil out last night. Today, I pulled the PTO cover off. I like how they use orings on alot of stuff. They are cheaper then new gaskets. Anywways, I pulled the pto cover off to check out the bull gears and see what kind of pto its geared for. There is a spline shaft all the way up in the front of the case, about an arm's length up. I'm assuming this is the pto drive. Now, that shaft can be easily turned no matter what the clutch position is, and no matter what gear its in including neutral. I'm wondering what the deal is since its supposivley gear for an IPTO. AHH!!! I see... The seasonal disconnect must be disabling that shaft... I noticed it on the pto drawings... Now How to enable it to check the shaft? Its got a center"bolt" with a bar going on top of the head? The manual mentions nothing of a seasonal disconnect. Can someone explain how to engage it? Also, the bull gears, and dif bevel gears are in AWESOME shape. Very defined gear teeth, like they were machined yesterday. No sharp edges like one would see with wear, just very nice defined teeth edges. I guess with this and the clutch that is rather worn, it further verifies this tractors use as a loader tractor for most of its life. Whether thats a good or bad thing, I dont know, the front end is tight, so that is good. Thanks Guys.
