I have had great success bathung the PTO mechanism in "Tri-Flo" bicycle
chain lubricant. I have squirted it in the PTO until it has washed out
all the old grease, and let it drain onto newspaper over nite before
reassembling. By then it is well lubed. Lots easier than a rebiuld,
unless you are a purist.
Has anyone who has tried this method found any fault i.e. components
value changing, I haven't.
I concur. I have used Tri-flow on three PTO's now and have not had to
re-do any of them since. I do an alcohol drip first to loosen everything,
let that evaporate, and then do the Tri-flow injection. I don't think I
use as much tri-flow as does Dave, but apparently Tri-flow by itself is
enough to handle the problem.
