Adjustment of the linkage to compensate for wear
and lubrication is normally all the maintenance
required for the PTO unit. The gears and bearings are
lubricated from the transmission sump.
If the PTO is to be removed for repairs. disconnect
the drive shaft and shift linkage and drain the
transmission. Once the transmission is completely
drained, remove the bolts that secure the unit to the
transmission. DO NOT misplace or lose any shims or
spacers that are between the two housings. Once the unit
is removed from the vehicle, the inspection and repair
procedures are the same as for a transmission. When
reinstalling or replacing the PTO, carefully follow the
manufacturer’s procedures on the installation shims or
spacers to prevent damage or unit failure.
