On my 300 with live PTO, I tried adjusting the brake bands. The front screw (brake band) is backed way out to get it to turn with the operating lever centered. It takes about 15 ft Lbs to turn the shaft. When I disengage the PTO (engine running) it sqeals something awful like a tied hog. Makes me think both bands may be contacting/engaging. Maybe the brake band lining has come loose and cannot be adjusted far enough away from the drum. Any ideas? Does every 300 squeal?
I adjusted them with the two punched dots on the handle and quadrant aligned and then backed off the screws 1 turn each. Still squealed. Backed off 1/2 turn more. Still squeals. Backed off equally a whole bunch just to check. Still squeals.
Next problem is getting the PTO shaft seal retainer off the back of the PTO unit to disassemble and check. Its recessed and doesn't have any threaded holes to press it out. I tapped on it for half an hour in all different directions with a brass punch to try to get it to turn and a chisel in the groove around it to try to budge it. Any ideas?
