Ken Winterling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Keith,
Here are two sites that may help. The PTO has an internal adjustment screw for the ball bearing race. The first site describes the procedure while the second one provides a picture of an open PTO and where the adjustment screw is located. Some PTO covers have an access hole in the rear, others do not. You must remove the cover to adjust a PTO that does not have an access hole. You will need a long 3/32" allen (hex) wrench. http://www.dproducts.be/drake_museum/nouvelle48.htm http://www.jvgavila.com/tr3.htm Be careful not to disturb anything in the PTO or you will affect its tracking. Do not over tighten the adjuster or you will ruin the dial drive ball bearings and race. Good luck!
