Hi,
I have been working away at installing PTO in my IH2444 (same as 444) anyway the way the PTO engages and disengages is by a sliding collar that moves back and forth on the splined PTO shaft (part #5 in the image) either mating with the splined transmission shaft if the pto is engaged or missing the transmission shaft when not engaged. I can assemble it easily in either position the collar seems to slide OK by hand on the transmission shaft and on the PTO shaft however when I use the lever once it is assembled it binds and will not move. I have been thinking that maybe I need to polish the splines as they are not as smooth as they could be but short of that I can't figure out what the problem is. It is really a simple mechanism and I am getting a little frustrated. I would appreciate any in-site. Also it is not clear which way the splined collar (part #5) should go as it is not symmetrical. If anybody knows for sure I would appreciate that.
Cheers,
Ian
Thanks
