NF PTO gauge thickness?
 

A couple years ago I bought a rebuilt PTO for my 123. My old one finally blew up so I was going to put it on.

Apparently the friction plate was not aligned properly so it won't fit in the basket. So I loosened aligned it, and now need to adjust it.

I found the picture of the gauge with the dimensions on this site. I had one of my guys wire EDM cut one this morning. It won't fit. I think it's too think. I just made from some 1/8" stock I had lying around.

How thick is it supposed to be? I can't find that info anywhere online.

Thanks,
Brian

The setting gauge I have is very thin material. Maybe 20 - 22 guage material or so? It is probably somewhere around 60 thousandths thick.

Thanks! I'm going to put it on the Blanchard grinder and take it down to .062 tomorrow morning.

Thanks,
Brian

Just for the record, Aaron at xtreme makes and sells them for $4.

I understand you apparently have the tools.... but even for the ridiculous shipping price he has, it's not a bad deal.

It was not necessary to loosen the nuts on the pto, a 3 jaw puller was all that was needed to compress the thrust button to align it up, but now you will have a gauge.

Put a large socket or a short piece of pipe in the big hole end so it bottoms on the snap ring and use a vise, simple
