PTO bearing part number needed
 

I have a 782 with a KT17 series 2 engine. The PTO bearing started making noise, so in looking for a replacement, I noticed a rebuilt PTO on EBAY with a new bearing installed. So I figured I could do the same. I got the old bearing pressed out, but there are no numbers on it. These measurements are approx- ID-1 3/16, OD-2 7/16 and width - 5/8 in. I also was able to remove the sleeve inside the bearing, and it is in excellent shape. All I need is a bearing number. I know the replacement number for the clutch is 717-3044 and the original clutch part number is IH 144720-C91. Any help out there?

Hello and :Welcome2:

It's a 6206 bearing. You can get them at Napa. If you have the dimensions, a part store should have had no trouble getting you a bearing. Napa number 62062RSJ

Thanks for the info!
 

I just called NAPA, and they will have the bearing there by tomorrow. I'll let you know how it turns out - thanks again for the quick response. It's the first time I used this forum, and it's great! John

I need to replace mine too, please update on your progress.

Does the bearing need to be pressed out/in or can it be pounded out/in with a socket and hammer?

Is there only one bearing on this model clutch?

I noticed a couple options from NAPA, is the more expensive bearing much better quality?

Thanks, Bill

782 PTO bearing
 

I pounded out the old bearing with a piece of oak wood so I didn't mar the reducing sleeve. First I ground out the 3 stakes with a Dremel. There is only 1 bearing on the 782 clutch. NAPA charged me $31.49 - Bearing #62062RSJ. After the old bearing is out, I gently pounded out the reducing sleeve with a piece of wood. Put the new bearing in the freezer for an hour, and it will go in without much pounding. John

And I will note, it only is used when the PTO is in the OFF position. When it's ON the bearing is not in use.

Thank you John, you've been very helpful. Let us know how it turns out and if you think of anymore tips/advice for this procedure please tell us.

Update on my PTO bearing - replacement was much easier than I expected. It sure saved me lots of money compared to the price of a new after-market PTO, or rebuilt one from EBAY. John
