Before you get too far on this...
I've been working on my 909 this year, so a couple things to consider for you...
Mine has the slip clutch. I had to replace that, and if you need to as well, start looking now. Mine is a 60" unit, and as a result, the spline on the slip clutch is 1.125". The 72" machines use a more readily available clutch. Tisco made the small ones, but I don't know if they're between runs, or they're discontinued, but they're damn hard to find. I'm 100 miles from my parts breakout, so can't say if the shear pin machines have a different gear box spline.
I'd have preferred to replace the whole PTO on mine since it hasn't been used in 20+ years. In addition, I really need it longer as it's going on a different tractor, but with it being a bit unique, that isn't an easy option. I just got a PTO extender to throw on the tractor to solve that issue.
In the grand scheme, I probably should have just sold/scrapped the 909, and picked up a newer, more serviceable, used machine for the amount of money, and time I've already put in the one I have. Plus, it still needs more sheet metal repair, but that's on hold until I have the chance to spin it up, and see if anything else has issues... I also don't have a stump jumper on mine, and yet again, unique setup, so I can't just throw one on... I know it's hard to think about replacing something that works, or it seems like it just needs a little work to get it going, but I wish I had really sat down and found all the issues with my 909 before I started fixing one thing at a time, and getting more invested in it.
