m.c.farmerboy Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Was plowing this fall and struck some ledge with my 720 spring reset the out come was a broken torque shaft on the right side the PTO was getting weak and one of remote valves was leaking so thought it was a good time fix it all since the PTO has to come out to get at the draft linkage unhooked 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m.c.farmerboy Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 I Had a PTO kit on the shelf with a reman center housing with the steel piston rings instead of Teflon rings I like them a lot better and last much longer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m.c.farmerboy Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 Close inspection of the broken shaft showed that it had been fractured about one third for some time I will do a dye pen check on the new one's before I put them in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice tractor VIN# 514 built on the first day of the 806 in 1963 I was at an auction in PA. 10 years ago and it was mostly hi end restored tractors this was one of the last tractors to go through and the bidding stopped at $3750 so I jumped in and ended up owning it for $4800. I had no intention of buying a tractor as I was there to sell off my collection of IH toys and signage and to meet a buyer for my Bear trap collection as it was a half way point for both of us to travel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
