Installation Notes

Replacing a PTO drive pinion bearing requires splitting the PTO housing, so it’s often done during other transmission work or seasonal maintenance. While you’ve got things apart, it’s smart to inspect the drive pinion gear for wear and replace the PTO output shaft seal if it’s showing age.
