PTO DRIVELINE SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT

5032/5042/5055 Shear Bolt PTO:

The PTO driveline has a shearbolt assembly for overload protection. This shear bolt type PTO needs very little maintenance. If the PTO free spins during operation, the bolt has sheared. Replace the sheared bolt with a new one of the same diameter, length and grade. Bolt should shear on non-threaded portion. Any bolt of different specifications than listed below will prevent the shearbolt assembly from operating properly and can cause damage to the mixer.

NOTE: Shearbolt assembly must always be installed on mixer input shaft.

It is important to have the PTO shaft completely secure on the tractor PTO with the lock collar fully engaged. The use of adapters on the PTO is not recommended.

5073/5085/50100 Torque Disconnect PTO:.

The torque disconnect type of driveline protection is an automatic, no maintenance form of protection when compared to shear bolt or friction type clutches. It uses pawls spring loaded into a ratchet to transmit torque. When the torque overcomes the spring force the pawls pull away from the rachet preventing driveline damage. To reset, simply throttle the tractor down and the pawls will reengage. If an obstruction must be removed to get it to reengage, always shut the tractor off and remove the PTO before removing the obstruction.

NOTE: Torque lock bolt to tractor to 75ft. lbs. (17mm 6pt socket suggested).
