pto adjustment on 300u

Here is my take. Look at the linkage and be certain it has no lost motion, there are pins and woodruff keys in the system that can be loose. Fix if found.
Place the lever 1/2 the way between the latching points of on (up) and off (down).
Remove the little dome cover on the PTO box. Under this will be two lock nuts and two adjusting screws.
The PTO should turn by hand (engine off).
Loosen the lock nut, and turn the front screw in until you can feel the shaft start to resist turning by hand. Loosen it just until it will turn free, no more.
Do the same for the rear adjuster so that it can rotate free, but no more.
The front adjustment is the drive adjust, the rear is the brake adjust.
If the screws are down level with the adjustment lock nut top, the bands are worn, and will need replacing, or relining at a clutch shop. That is not quite the book way, but I have used it many times. JimN
 
Thanks Jim Nicholson Your explanation makes sense I have a manual on this in a box someplace but the info you supplied should get me through. I think the bands are ok I just need to get them adjusted right.Thanks again for the info. Ed
