[TenTec] Triton IV 540 PTO rebuild?

[Mike Hyder -N4NT-]

Last I heard they still sold the rebuild kits, but you probably don't need
one, just a good cleaning and regreasing.  There are instructions for
rebuilding the Century 21 PTO at the following website:
http://www.io.com/~n5fc/c21_pto.htm

As to the dial cord problem -- there is an elastic section of the dial cord
which pulls the pointer down to the left.  Over time that section loses its
elasticity.  They'll mail you a replacement section -- you don't need to
restring the whole cord to replace that section.
