[TenTec] Re: Need help with Corsair-2

[Chester Alderman]

In addition to Steve's and Clark's good suggestions, be aware that TenTec
sells a PTO repair kit that is relatively inexpensive. It is not exactly a
snap to do the first time, but after the first time, it becomes much
easier. Just don't rush the job and you can rebuild it yourself and get it
to feel the way you want it to feel. Home rebuilt PTO's should normally not
need further attention for a couple of years, but that kit is very handy
thing to have on your shelf.
