How to Drive & Operate a Tractor : PTO Shaft on a Tractor: How It Works

[storminnormanz]

hey, my bushhog pto is too small to fit my tractor pto shaft. is there some kind of adapter or something i can get?????????????

Sorry your wrong.

Not all PTO's are the same dia.

The early ones were 1/18" and there are still plenty of them about.

eg. Ferguson tea20 and varients up to the late fifties.

Just trying to help...everyone watching this who does not know.

BTW: I've watched quite a few from the expert village, seen a lot of criticism and ridicule, find this curious as I have never seen one that is wrong. Maybe other experts might do it in a different way but that's no reason why to denigrate them.

Absolutely right....pin size and position, not PTO, define the lift types.... Good catch, thank you.

Honestly I'm not a big fan of the expert village format either.... a lot of pressure to crank out very short, very novice oriented videos, 15 or 20 at a time.... there are a few that make me cringe when I watch them.

Lol, some expert, even I knew that..

the guy above is right, the number of splines the pto and yoke have helps to determine how fast and what kind of a load the shaft/tractor/engine combo can handle

[EverythingAttachment]

This is wrong! Category 1 vs. Category 2 defines the size of the lift arm holes as well as the spread of the lift arms ONLY. ALL spline drives in the U.S. are the same size (1 3/8") on both Cat.1 and Cat.2 Hitches!!! Just trying to help...everyone watching this who does not know.
