Manual PTO adjustment tools?
 

I realized the other day when I rebuilt my 128 PTO, that I had forgotten it took a special cut tool to adjust it correctly to OEM specs. It just so happened that I found the one I got years ago to adjust WF PTO's. I am just curious where any of you out there, get your adjustment tools for WF and NF PTO's? I am going to need one for a NF in the near future. If anyone had access to a water jet or some other similar piece of equipment, I have mine that you could use as a template.

the one you have pictured is for a NF.

Uh oh!

This is not good news, LOL. Someone lied to me years ago. Well I guess the PTO on the 128 will coming back off, altho it seemed to adjust pretty dang good. Tho I am not close to see if it will actually release using the handle. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I've probably ruined the springs! Once again, thanks for your knowledge and help.

Boy, you got me thinking now..... I'm going to need that tool soon too, and I also had forgotten about it... We used to have one.... Hmmmmmm. I'm gonna have to go digging.

My pto rebuild kit came with one. I actually got one with more than just the clutch disk, it came with the bolts, jam nuts, and springs. I would like to see a kit available that comes with bearing and locking collar and all the set screws too. i know I would buy one just to have around

LOL, well you just missed my for sale post a couple of days ago, of all of that. My uncle had bought a complete PTO WF Heavy duty kit years ago and gave it to me, but, it is no longer for sale.

I'm wondering how much of a difference there is with adjustment between the two different tools. I'll have to take a pic of my PTO with the tool installed. As a matter of fact I'll go out and get one. :)

Hold on before to get too wound up.

My first 125 come with a WF PTO. It been working fine for years. See if you have the 6 bumps (WF) or smooth (NF) PTO pulley.

Some pics of the tool and PTO. All the ends touch precisely from the outer PTO edge to the center of the flat springs.

The three fingers are slightly above plane.

Using the wrong gauge results in too tight a spring setting, the correct one is 3/32 less in height.
