I’ve been searching for videos for PTO installation, mainly to know how to properly shim and make sure I have proper backlash, thank you for explaining how a PTO works and breaking down the process….. really saves me money when I can find a video like this!!!
Andy you made my day. When you were trying to get the last bearing off and finally just took the hammer to it lol. It finally felt like how my repair jobs end up. BFH can be the best tool. Have a great day.
Sweet video man! I don't know where you find the time to make quality videos like this Andy. But I sure do appreciate it. Seriously, thanks for taking the time to do this I really enjoy it.
Did several of that particular PTO jobs over 40+ yrs and believe me when they reach the state yours is in Andy I tossed em and went new...the gamble ain't worth it.
Really enjoy your videos. There seems to be nothing you wont tear into. Although with all your repair videos, I always get the feeling it's not your first time. Great videos. Keep em coming.
Appreciate you explaining the repair in such detail really enjoy the repair videos . You have taught Jared well looks like he has the same mechanical talent as the old man !
You have so many different things that you need to AND can fix. Remarkable! Your explanation of the issues of rebuilding vs replacing was very informative. Enjoyed the video very much!
Every PTO job I ever did involved an oil bath in transmission gear oil !! Don't know if that's where the hair went or not but probably didn't help !! As someone else said , to tight it whines to loose it rattles and some drivers can't hear either one !!! Choosing that correct speed can be tricky but makes huge difference !Thanks for the video!!
Another great and detailed explanation of life Farming, Fixing, and Fabricating. Sure appreciate the extra time you put into making quality video's for us to enjoy. I struggle getting one set of GoPro video edited and spliced together to make one coherent finished product. Maybe someday... haha. Thanks
Great video man I really enjoy the shop videos. In the past I have had guys miss a gear so bad that they chip off a piece of a sliding clutch or break something and the little piece falls down and takes out the power takeoff…
There are times on jobs when a manual impact removal tool (aka lump hammer) has to come into use. I note you are quite skilled and experienced when using such a tool. Great video Andy!
Played with too many... Nice thing is, it's usually just cheap bearings and a seal.... Unless the coupler doesn't get greased... Then it's the shaft too. Thanks for the video Andy
Andy most people have no idea what it takes to put a gallon of milk on their table I grew up on a central Indiana dairy farm we milked 60 cows had to milk before school and after school dairy farmers way under paid and under appreciated if I ever get a chance to shake your hand it will be an honor
Andy, maybe at some point you could introduce us to your guys, or at least your brother and other family members. Keep up the good work. You are better to watch than that Zach guy:)
Excellent video today! Oh, and BTW. You need to tell Jerrod that the term "if you can't find um grind um only applies to trucks he would drive for Swifty Swift. . . UmmmmKay!
Make sure it was shimmed correctly. To tight will take out the bearing pretty quickly.. 006/. 012 back lash between the countershaft and pto driven gear.
Good video however the reason i watched it was to learn more about exactly how to achieve the correct back-lash between trans and your PTO gear... but it wasn't really explained ... i gotta do this very thing next few days and i need lil bit more schooling on it...
Great video brother mines is a shaft connected to the pump I keep having leaks on PTO where the shaft connects I believe is the O ring now I hav to replace it again for 3 rd time in 6 months
After putting water on the seeds, the typical farmer has plenty of time for hobbies. Here we have Andy playing with one of his broken toys... " just wash it and wax it, it 'l be fine "
Love these kind of videos where you learn how to work on this stuff leave it or not they're very reason I was watching this videos because we got a crane truck a sterling crane truck that the PTO just like this went out and I wanted to see exactly what you did my biggest problem is is they're saying it's going to take six to eight weeks before we can get one in and I'm wondering if there is any other companies or maybe some other places we can look where they might have them in I'm in North Carolina but I can order them from New York or anywhere it don't matter just get them overnighted or whatever if you have any ideas if you happen to read this I'd appreciate you know any ideas you might have appreciate it man thanks a lot
im pretty sure its 6 to 12 thousands from the pto drive to counter shaft when you install it Andy im sure you know this already. i have installed so many i never checked them with a dial indectactor just by feel. hes not leaving it engaged while driving i hope ?just buy a new drive Andy
You forgot to tighten up a bolt looks like. Looks like just in front of the pto on the inspection plate maybe.You couldn’t hold the camera still long enough to be sure
That PTO gear box is to close to the trans there is a tool to set that up to figer out how many shims it needs between the trans and the PTO box + gaskits
G'day, endoscope plug in phone about 3 foot long you can see up ya nose down the drain the one l got wooks great l got 2 pictures of my teeth up in the cloud somewhere. The truck is a problem do you log all the fixers you do on them? Keep truckin!!
Nice!! You may or may not remember last winter when I sent you a pic of my pto on the manure truck? That damn thing chipped a gear in the trans. Had to call Jerry at R and M in Pennsylvania for a pump. Thirteen hundred dollars later. Then the pto pump went to shit. Patience’s of a Saint you have. It took a 12 pack to get mine back in.
There is no rocket science involved. It's either your hired men or mechanics. The bigger I got the more breakdowns occurred. The yearly invoices went up but the profits went down. I cut back my overall work, lowered my employee base and my profits went back up. My hired men were bleeding me dry!
Yes true but in my case new stuff was wearing out sooner. There are few men , in my area who want to work. New prospective men first ask what’s it pay before anything. I’ve scaled back and now enjoying life.
Just endless amounts of content you have Andy thanks for taking us along! No script required here folks
Hammer down
The joys of everyday farming always something to fix. I really like all your videos i enjoy them
my day is not complete with out a video each day Andy love em love em
You got that right, love my cereal each day this one and that one!!😎🦌

Good day sir, I wanna install the PTO myself, any tips you can give a rookie and things to look out for?
@mphomamba513 it’s pretty easy
Andy you made my day. When you were trying to get the last bearing off and finally just took the hammer to it lol. It finally felt like how my repair jobs end up. BFH can be the best tool. Have a great day.
Not only did he get after it, it was still in good shape when he laid it on the table.
Sweet video man! I don't know where you find the time to make quality videos like this Andy. But I sure do appreciate it. Seriously, thanks for taking the time to do this I really enjoy it.
Thanks for the comment Nate
If this farming thing doesn't pan out, you'd have a very bright future in any shop, diesel or otherwise. You've got some serious skills, Andy!
Thanks
Did several of that particular PTO jobs over 40+ yrs and believe me when they reach the state yours is in Andy I tossed em and went new...the gamble ain't worth it.
You made me giggle when you beat the bearing off with the hammer and then put it on the bench saying it was still good. LOL
Really enjoy your videos. There seems to be nothing you wont tear into. Although with all your repair videos, I always get the feeling it's not your first time. Great videos. Keep em coming.
Jered was standing by like an expectant father awaiting word. Thanks for the video Andy.
Never a dull moment around the farm, great job . Great videos Thanks

Great video. Appreciate the explanation on how the pto works...I don't see this kind of stuff in the hvac world...

Thank you very much for the master class. I finally understood how a pto works!
Thanks for superb description of what the PTO does, and what it consists of internally.
Thanks for the video, could watch you all day in the shop.
Andy thanks for another great maintenance video you guys kick ass and take names man amazing the knowledge y’all have saves so much time and bucs

Snooping around the transmission with a borescope might give a little peace of mind. Add it to the Christmas list!
Great amount of detail Andy, thanks!
Great video man I really enjoy the shop videos. In the past I have had guys miss a gear so bad that they chip off a piece of a sliding clutch or break something and the little piece falls down and takes out the power takeoff…
Great video sir . Always something different to have to fix on farm equipment .
Work never ends.you Handel it well. Thanks again

Great video well explained in great detail, must say you have great knowledge ,
Great video Andy. Thanks
Somebody's been watching their videos and seen that it needed a haircut nice haircut bro look good
MAKE SURE YOU GE TTHE RIGHT GASKET TO SHIM THE PTO TO THE TRANS...THERE ARE DIFFERENT THICKNESS GASKETS THAT SET YOUR GEAR LASH ON THAT PTO
Yup... And when the old man helps you, and doesn't tell you there was another shim... She tends to make a lot of noise when you fire up the truck!!!
WOWZERS! That's a LOT of pieces that potentially could have caused major issues to the transmission.
Well stay tuned
Well.. great videos always look forward to watching.
Excellent video today!
Oh, and BTW. You need to tell Jerrod that the term "if you can't find um grind um only applies to trucks he would drive for Swifty Swift. . . UmmmmKay!
Good catch by Jared
Thanks for showing that, now I know how to fix mine !
Great Content. Thankyou
Great video Andy
Great video as usual, you inspired me to start making my own !
Good work Andy 👍
You put mufflers on it and pissed the boy off. 🤣
Good catch jared
Good video keep it up
Nice bracket clean job.
Really enjoy your video's
Make sure it was shimmed correctly. To tight will take out the bearing pretty quickly.. 006/. 012 back lash between the countershaft and pto driven gear.

Send me an email at farmingfixingandfabricating@gmail.com with your phone number.I can walk you through it, it’s simple
Great video brother mines is a shaft connected to the pump I keep having leaks on PTO where the shaft connects I believe is the O ring now I hav to replace it again for 3 rd time in 6 months
Replace the shaft
@@FarmingFixingFabricating I actually did replace it 3 months ago the old one leaked 2 times on me
Greatttttttt video 👍🏻

Here we have Andy playing with one of his broken toys...
" just wash it and wax it, it 'l be fine "
Great job as usual
Hi can i put a PTO on kenworth t680 with automatic fuller transmission?
Yes
Surprised that the backlash isn't more critical other than gasket spacing. Usually it takes a dial indicator and gear marking compound.
enjoyed the video andy thanks
The truck just likes to be in the heated shop
I enjoy that,
nice video Andy
Love these kind of videos where you learn how to work on this stuff leave it or not they're very reason I was watching this videos because we got a crane truck a sterling crane truck that the PTO just like this went out and I wanted to see exactly what you did my biggest problem is is they're saying it's going to take six to eight weeks before we can get one in and I'm wondering if there is any other companies or maybe some other places we can look where they might have them in I'm in North Carolina but I can order them from New York or anywhere it don't matter just get them overnighted or whatever if you have any ideas if you happen to read this I'd appreciate you know any ideas you might have appreciate it man thanks a lot
Check with Frey heavy duty
Nice job. As usual
Roll on!
pto hims set driven gear backlash with dail indicator 7 to 15 thou
I'd say that's caused from leaving it on while driving faster than it's condition to go.. but just my opinion. Good luck
I like your vids.
Today just found out my transmission might need to be replaced won't go into low range. Will find out tomorrow. Might be the top cover
@Oliver 880 do you have 170000 that could borrow?
im pretty sure its 6 to 12 thousands from the pto drive to counter shaft when you install it Andy im sure you know this already. i have installed so many i never checked them with a dial indectactor just by feel. hes not leaving it engaged while driving i hope ?just buy a new drive Andy
👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the video, you can open a tractor and truck mechanics
Question for you ...was the transmission making the noise only when the PTO was engaged ?if not does it suggest a noise from the transmission?
Either or and both
We al know we need to get lucky once in a while
I just paid 2700 for a PTO, how quickly things have changed
On what?
You forgot to tighten up a bolt looks like. Looks like just in front of the pto on the inspection plate maybe.You couldn’t hold the camera still long enough to be sure
Nice
Awesome channel Andy. Love watching the Videos. Do you own the farm ??
Yes
I heard 700$ for the PTO and had to check the video date! Haha
Make sure your hydraulic system isn’t malfunctioning!
That PTO gear box is to close to the trans there is a tool to set that up to figer out how many shims it needs between the trans and the PTO box + gaskits
Man u guys are hard on equipment bumper all bent up
It is what it is
That’s what happens when you go off road
G'day, endoscope plug in phone about 3 foot long you can see up ya nose down the drain the one l got wooks great l got 2 pictures of my teeth up in the cloud somewhere. The truck is a problem do you log all the fixers you do on them? Keep truckin!!
Yes we do
One of those times when you think back to when the transmission was replaced. Do you or don't you replace the PTO.
Probably should have replaced PTO
Read most of the comments and agree with all of them, but I wonder how many gallons of milk it takes to cover the overhead?
It takes most of all the gallons
Did you let Zack drive the truck? Lol!
So Andy the clutch pedal needs to be push in to engage the PTO? That stops everything from turning in inside the Transmission to engaging the PTO?
That is correct.
Yes
👍
Do you fill the pto with oil or the transmission? Do they share lubricant?
It uses oil from the transmission
wow
if it rattles less shims whines more shimes
Nice!! You may or may not remember last winter when I sent you a pic of my pto on the manure truck? That damn thing chipped a gear in the trans. Had to call Jerry at R and M in Pennsylvania for a pump. Thirteen hundred dollars later. Then the pto pump went to shit. Patience’s of a Saint you have. It took a 12 pack to get mine back in.
I remember that

Do you not have a wagon pit to work in so you don't to lay on the floor. On the farm we had a pit so you could stand up and work easy.
No we don't
@@FarmingFixingFabricating It's good watching your video's very interesting. All the best from Lancaster England
Weren’t you the last one to drive the 900?? Hmmmmmmm?
Yup
Bet that deal brought a tear to your eye when you first saw it!!😥😫👎
If you farm there's always repair work
There is no rocket science involved. It's either your hired men or mechanics. The bigger I got the more breakdowns occurred. The yearly invoices went up but the profits went down. I cut back my overall work, lowered my employee base and my profits went back up. My hired men were bleeding me dry!
A lot of wheels turning, stuff wears out
Yes true but in my case new stuff was wearing out sooner. There are few men , in my area who want to work. New prospective men first ask what’s it pay before anything.
I’ve scaled back and now enjoying life.
Every time I drain the oil on a vehicle
and it comes out pieces of metal,
it usually gets expensive.
Is it possible the PTO was engaged while driving ? what caused the damage..
Anything is possible

What brand of bearings do they use, is it SKF?
The new bearings I got after timken
@@FarmingFixingFabricating Ok.
Just install a new hot shift, much more friendly.
