The gear off of the shaft out of the pressure plate mates to the live power shaft drive gear, creating the reduction needed to reduce the engine's speed down to PTO shaft speed. IH did make several different gear sets, depending on the rated engine speed of the tractor. I belive there was one set for early gas tractors rated at 2300 RPM, another for 06, 26, 56, and early 66/68 series diesels, which were rated at 2400 RPM, and another set for late 66/68, and 86 series diesels, which were rated at 2600 RPM. The reason being that they wanted the PTO to be turning at about the same speed at rated engine speed from tractor to tractor. Do you know anything about the history of the tractor? Has it ever had the Speed Transmission apart? I remember you said it runs about 2800 wide-open, which means it is rated at 2600. If someone put gears for a 2400 RPM tractor in there, your PTO would turn faster than it should. Check your PTO RPM's with a hand-tach. If you have an adapter to run 540 implements off of the 1000 shaft, hook one 14 to a small-square baler, run it at about 1000 engine RPM's, and count the plunger strokes per minute. Now hook on the 14 that is bothering, run the baler at the same engine speed and count. We'll get to the bottom of this.
