Vertical pto vertical shaft

It could be gear bound and not allowing it to disengage, i experienced that a few times in my farming days, we dug a lot of postholes with a PTO driven digger. What usually happened is i ended up getting caught on rocks and stalled out because i had the engine speed to low. What i generally had to do to fix it was remove the PTO shaft from the digger, disconnect from the tractors output shaft, then get it started and everything moving, then disengage the PTO and reconnect the post hole digger, then give her hell and get the engine speed up before re-engaging the PTO, that would generally shock it loose. If not then i would have to disconnect the PTO shaft again and spin it backwards by hand to rotate the digger in the opposite direction to remove the hangup.

Ford 8n PTO SHAFT seal replacement

bad pto, 400 dollar to fix but a cheap option is to replace the pto switch in the dash first, is the pto switch clicking with the key in the ON position? if it is then it is the pto clutch bad

The PTO clutch has a bolt that goes through it and into the vertical shaft of the engine. MANY of the PTO clutches have a large spacing washer that goes on before the PTO clutch is slipped onto the shaft. If the washer was lost when the clutch was changed, the bolt might be bottoming out in the shaft rather than tightening on the threads like it should. I'd get a diagram for your model and make sure all parts are in place.

I'm assuming you're referring to the PTO clutch on the bottom of the engine shaft. There's a 5/8" bolt that goes up through the clutch into the shaft. Remove it, but then turn it back in about 10 turns and use a wheel puller to start getting it off. You might have to c-clamp the PTO/clutch top and bottom together to get both pieces off. Once the assembly starts coming down the shaft, you can probably remove the wheel puller, remove the bolt completely, and pull the PTO/Clutch off by hand. Be sure to unplug the PTO/clutch before removing it. Also, many of these have a spacing washer on top of the PTO/Clutch that comes off in the process. BE SURE to put it back on before replacing the PTO/Clutch. DO NOT hit anything with a hammer to try to break it loose - you'll most likely NOT get the part off and most probably WILL damage necessary parts.

technically it is possible to do a heart trnasplant
all you need to check are the mounting flange holes or be able to drill new holes in the mower frame
and next the method of attaching the drive pulley or pto to the crank shaft has to be considered

90% of vertical shaft engines use the same pattern only seen a couple that one hole is off place

bad coil check plugs wet black one is the bad coil side

First thing u might want to check is the governor--Make sure the spring and linkage is hooked up properly and the governor is moving freely.

Check you float in the carb I had one a few years back and it was partualy plugged cleaned it out and everthing worked fine. Also is the PTO binding up or bearings going bad putting an excessive load on the motor.
