There's something both startling and satisfying to me about that "bang" noise when the press first breaks the hold of the bearing or gear on a shaft. Back in the "old days" before the Montreal Protocol I would have warmed the new bearing and retainer ring on the shop's coffee maker heat pad and placed the end of the shaft in a small inexpensive Styrofoam cooler into which I emptied a small can of R-12 refrigerant. After just a few minutes the bearing and retainer would fall rather loosely into place on the shaft. No pressing, no hammering. The temperature of the heated bearing was well within the tolerance, even the normal operating range and the temp of the cooled shaft was only a few degrees colder than it might have experienced in one of our Michigan winters. This was also my preferred method in that time for setting timing gears onto crankshafts. Certainly that old method is unthinkable today.
Excellent video, thanks. I have a Ford 3910 that I'm trying to fix its PTO. There's a leak there and it won't stop when you move the handle under the seat. It just turns slower but doesn't stop completely, how can I fix this?
@Ariel1526 thank you. I'm not familiar with a 3910 tractor. The closest I have is a 68 3000. It has a clutch for the pto along with a transmission clutch, a double clutch. On it, if the pto is shifted off and it's still spinning, something is bent in the shift linkage at the rear of transmission. A sticking clutch would make it spin when clutch is depressed. I'd say most likely you have a binding linkage somewhere, but I don't know where to point you on that model.
Depending on where it broke your pto shifter may be damaged. You can remove the side cover that the pto shifter is on and see how everything moves. You might find something broken as well.
Never looked for parts for one of those but I've heard they're hard to come by. Best place might be a new holland dealer. I've bought parts from New holland for my 4000 and 861 through Messick's Tractor Parts. Yesterdays tractors also has a few parts for those models.

Yeah that works for sure. Dont think the EPA would be happy about using R-12 like that though.
@@chickenhousemechanic most definitely a method NOT approved today.

I replaced my pto after it broke on my 850 now the pto will not disengage any ideas

Selecto speed stuff is at a premium, when available.
Would you consider selling your old SOS PTO shaft? Mine is scored due to the bushing going out.
Sorry I no longer have the pto shaft from the sos.
dang, thanks tho!@@chickenhousemechanic
can you tell me where I could find parts for y 1910

I’ve had great luck with Steiner seals for pto even if it is warn a little
