CHANGING THE MODEL 2160 TO 2210
OUTPUT SHAFT
WARNING
Before changing the PTO shaft:
•
Park the tractor so the rear end is
approximately 10 cm (4″) higher than the
front end. This will reduce oil loss when
removing the shaft.
• Apply the parking brake.
• Move the gearshift lever to “NEUTRAL.”
• Disengage the PTO by pushing the PTO
selector knob down.
• Stop the engine.
• Make sure the PTO shaft has stopped turning.
Change the 34.9 mm (1.375″) or 44.5 mm (1.75″)
1000 RPM PTO shaft as required to attach to the
implement to be used.
1. Remove the PTO master shield.
2. Remove the original M20 X 60 bolts, 1.
3. Install longer M20 X 120 bolts at 1. Bolts can be
made with a locally-purchased threaded metric
rod.
NOTE: These bolts will contact the PTO driven gear
to prevent the gear from falling into the center
housing when the PTO shaft and retainer are
removed.
Turn the bolts in by hand until they just contact
the gear. Do not tighten bolts because they’ll tilt
the gear and make removal of the shaft difficult.
CAUTION
Make sure the rear axle oil level is at or below the
full mark. Any oil above the full mark will be lost
when the retainer is removed.
4. Remove the four retaining bolts, 2.
