Hello Garey I am writing from our freinds' labtop because we have no connetion these days. As soon as we are connected again I will return with some pictures and comments concerning the PTO gear assembly.
Regards Bent Garey Barrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote Garey Barrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang Possibly heavy grease used on the front ball bearing? I've had a few where someone greased this with automotive wheel bearing grease! Also, be sure the gearbox bearing adjustment screw (located at the back end of the PTO shaft) hasn't been overtightened. The front surface of the clip ring should be flush with the front edge of the larger diameter of the brass drive shaft. Yours is working, but the rubber clutch is only bearing on the face of this larger diameter of the shaft and would begin to slip soon since the friction area is only a small fraction of the surface of the clip ring. By the way, this ring WILL break if you expand it too far. 73, Garey - K4OAH Glen Allen, VA Drake 2-B, 4-B & C-Line Service Supplement CDs <www.k4oah.com> Bent wrote: > > "Bent" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Hello Garey > > Thanks for your response. > I know this article, but it does not indicate, or give answer, why > these two parts are placed on the outer side of the plastic dial. > The two parts are laying on the table, but it seems the gear works > anyway. > There must be a purpose for those two parts, but I can't see it. > > The main reason why I am working on this is that the movement of the > PTO gear feels very sluggish, > and I want to do it more smooth. > It is the PTO on my R-4C which is very well-kept, but as mentioned the > PTO gear feels very sluggish compared to my T-4XC PTO. > > Therefore I want to know how this gear system works. > > I do not yet have the courage to take it a part, before i know how it > works. > > Do you have some comments to this? > > / Bent > > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Garey Barrell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 9:07 PM > Subject: Re: [drakelist] Drake 4 Line PTO parts. > > >> >> Garey Barrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the >> drakelist gang >> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Bent - >> >> You may find your answer at >> >> <http://www.wb4hfn.com/DRAKE/DrakeArticles/PTO/Drake_PTO.htm> >> >> 73, Garey - K4OAH >> Glen Allen, VA >> >> Drake 2-B, 4-B & C-Line Service Supplement CDs >> <www.k4oah.com> >> >> >> >> Bent wrote: >>> Hello All >>> Is someone able to explain the meaning of the clip ring, and the >>> 28mm. outer Alu. bushing right beneath the clip ring to me? >>> Are these two parts necessary? >>> Is someone able to explain the principle of the gear by words or by >>> help of a sketch? >>> I am preparing a cleaning and maintenance of the gear. >>> Thanks in advance. >>> Regards >>> Bent >>> OZ5ZD. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------
