Getting the PTO out is most of the work in rebuilding one of them. You'd be
money ahead to just take it out, take it apart, clean out the grease and
re-grease it with quality stuff. No parts should be needed from the way you
describe the problem.
Our friends in Sevierville will send you instructions on removal of the PTO,
in addition to how to dismantle and reassemble the thing. Those
instructions normally come with a "rebuild kit" of parts for about $20, but
the old parts are probably OK -- you just need the instructions.

Subject: [TenTec] 544 PTO Question
|
| Would appreciate help with a couple of quick questions on the 544 PTO.
|
| Am I correct in assuming that the only way to eliminate a very slight
amount
| of backlash in one direction is by a PTO rebuild?
|
| How big a job is it (or is it even possible) to swap the PTO's between two
| 544's?
|
| Tnx/73,
