DITTOS FROM k0var!
Take it from a Ham that lives here in Iowa. With 5 Pigs per person ratio
for population
I consider myself a Pig Expert! PTO to me says: Pigs Take Oil ! (Grease)
Be good to your Pig. A good diet is a alcohol flush and a Grease bath.
When they Snort and Backlash at you, Flush them out and grease them up.
Bacon Grease not recommended!
No kidding Guys, This is the fix until your PTO takes a Whack and physical
is
caused.
Mine turns Smooth as Butter! But that is more of a Wisconsin Dairy product
so
I better leave that for a 9 Lander to explain.

> Hi TenTekkies,
>
> On the subject of to grease or to rebuild:
>
> I own four Ten Tecs with PTO's, the oldest of which is the Triton 2.
> Now keep in mind that that rig is almost 25 years old. All of the four
rigs
> have had new grease (and also some oil) at one time or another, and
> none of the four have EVER had a PTO rebuild. These four rigs are
> all online and used, and not one of them has a stiff shaft or any
> frequency jumping.
>
> Two of the rigs (omni c and delta) were bought used, and had stiff
> shafts when purchased, but a treatment as described above soon after
> purchase solved the problem (years ago) and they are still going strong.
>
> In fact, I wonder what all the hoopla is about pto rebuild. My first TT
> was a 505 Argonaut when they first came out, and have had a TT ever
> since, and not once did the rebuild........... What's the deal??
