RXA0128914-UN-12OCT12

RW21883A-UN-02AUG99

A - Snap Ring

B - Shaft

C - Bore

CAUTION: Avoid personal injury. PTO shaft may be hot from operation. Allow shaft to cool before changing.

IMPORTANT: Implements can be operated with 540 rpm 35 mm (1-3/8 in.) stub shaft only if power input never exceeds 60 kW (80 hp). Operating PTO at lower speeds under heavy load could damage PTO. 1000 rpm 35 mm (1-3/8 in.) stub shaft should be used for loads under 115 kW (154 hp). 1000 rpm 45 mm (1-3/4 in.) stub shaft should be used if heavier loads are expected.

1. Rotate ends of snap ring to align with flat surface of PTO stub shaft.

2. Remove snap ring (A) and pull out shaft (B).

3. Clean stub shaft thoroughly. Coat splines with John Deere™ HD Non-Clay grease.

4. IMPORTANT: Avoid damage to PTO. Clean bore (C) thoroughly when installing PTO shaft for 1000 rpm use.

   Install shaft into PTO housing.

   540 rpm shaft—Rotate shaft back and forth while installing, to ensure shaft is properly seated in housing; continue to push shaft in while installing snap ring.

   1000 rpm shaft—Rotate shaft back and forth while installing until engagement is felt.

   NOTE: Shaft is properly engaged when shaft turns with high effort.

5. Install snap ring in groove to retain PTO stub shaft. Align ends of snap ring with flat surface of shaft.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to select either 540 rpm or 1000 rpm mode after changing PTO shaft. PTO will disengage if speed does not match shaft size. See Operating shiftable 2-speed rear PTO (if equipped) in this section.
