[TenTec] PTO Adjustment?

[Bob, WB2VUF]

Hi, Shawn,

If I remember correctly,  there is a spring tension adjust on the rear 
PTO bearing.   There are some stacked flat washers used as shims and you 
may be able to reduce slippage by removing or adding (I don't remember 
which) a pair.  The PTO is also sensitive to the grease used.  I tried a 
light silicon grease and it didn't work at all.  You need the Ten Tec  
open gear "green grease" or equivalent.  Some auto parts stores sell a 
green grease, but I haven't tried it, so don't know if it's equivalent.

73,

Bob WB2VUF
