I just posted this into another thread when I thought of your machine: " BTW, I bought a cub bearing for my PTO. Put it on and had problems with PTO slippage. Opened up the PTO and found that the clear grease from the sealed bearing spun out of the bearing and coated the pressure plates, Instant slip. No indication of defect on the bearing."
Also, recheck your throw out levers with the template to make sure your triangular pressure spring had enough pressure. If not, tighten up the machine screw nuts and make sure the jam nuts a very tight against the regular nuts. The manual on the 100 on this site has a very good explanation of the PTO adjustment.
Make sure the fiber friction clutch's "fingers" are inside the starter pulley housing when the PTO is back on.
Probably the beater's PTO is OK.
