PTO finally fixed we did it.......

I finally set up a bench to work on all my tractors. We did the PTO for my int154 cub loboy first. I had the bearings from hamiltonbobscubs on ebay already. We took the whole thing apart only to find one ball bearing lost its cage that seperates the balls and that was my noise when it was running. Everything else was inspected and in ok condition. The rotating cams looked like new and all my wavy spring washers looked like new too. It seems to me the PO had one ball bearing replaced in the PTO before along with all the other parts because nothing appears to be worn at all. We pressed in the two ball bearings and she is all assembled waiting for me to adjust it tomorrow. I did noticed the ball bearing race did spin and gall the shaft very little, a tad. I had to sand paper the shaft to refit the bearing on it. The fitup was still ok and the inside of the bore on the ball bearing just slid on the shaft perfectly too. We must remember these bearings to slide on the shaft when we ingage the PTO and disingage the pto too so they must be free to slide but not too snug. We need to becareful so the fitup is correct.
If we don't fit everything right the PTO won't work properly. Remember to grease or put some anti-seeze on the shaft too were the ball bearings slide too besides the engagement ball sockets too on the cams. My point is the PTO on the int154 isn't hard to work on its just that we have to do it right. There are little assembly tricks that need to be followed too. Like on the two cone spring washers at the back of the shaft that are held inplace by the last ball bearing and the ingagement collar. You need to use two C clamps to compress the two sping washers so the snap ring can be installed infront of the last bearing. Once these three things are held inplace by the snap ring the 3 balls can be put in place and the next ball bearing with the collar can be installed. Its just your basic assembly when it comes to cone type spring washers and clutch plates after that.
This is my very first int154 with the 60" deck. I also have all the new bearings and seals for the mower deck. Thats next saturday's job when my son will be here again. He's getting all the hands on i can give him now and mainly howall the special pullers work and the basic disassembly and reassembly process's go. Like what to look out for and becareful with and what to grease. Since i hit 60yo now he needs to learn everything about all the IH tractors.
Right now we put my Fcub tranny bolted to my engine stand for the disassembly i can do during the week. I have to disassemble my tranny and finals to install all new seals and a driveshaft i got from Ralph. Thank God we have Ralph for the good used parts and TM for the new parts.
I just put the lift arms back on my int154 FEL project to take some measurements for the spacers tha get welded to connect the arms together. Next i need to pull the engine for rebuilding and level off the tractor frame and put 0on the new tires so it sits at the correct height so i can add the lower subframe for the backhoe support. My only problem is wether to install the creeper tranny i have or not in the FEL/backhoe tractor. Help/advice??
Tis the year to play catch up on all my projects now. The doctor up'd and changed my meds so i feel a tad better now. While i'm running at maybe 28% its time to gett'er done now. I figure i can do the bench work while my son does the lifting and installations. I want the FEL for next winter too. They predicted every winter will be worse and worse. I may need atwo stage blower too. Bill
