OK - here"s the deal. My 300-U and I just barely survived North Dakota"s last winter. I have a 74" woods blower on the back and we blew snow off my 1/4 mile long driveway almost 30 times. Worked the heck out of that poor 300.
Now I am trying to prep him for next winter.
The PTO started slipping the last few times - I used tarp straps to pull up on the "PTO" lever to keep it from slipping.
There seems to be no adjustment left as the adjustment "set screw" is threaded almost all the way in on the drive side.
Can anyone tell me how "tough" a job it is to disassemble the PTO and try to do something with the bands? Can they be relined? Are new bands available? Are the drive and the brake bands the same size? - Could I interchange them? Are any "special" tools needed for the job? Also, since I have the linkage apart I was checking things over and can"t seem to make the spring in that "can looking" device near the last linkage work?????? I tried to pull the shaft out and it does not seem to budge??? I assume this is to hold some spring pressure on the "brake" band? I am soaking it in diesel fuel to try and free it up.......
Secondly - How can I determine if the clutch will make another winter? I don"t believe there is any way to inspect the clutch is there? Is there some sort of "slip" test I can do?
