Hey all.

The PTO in the photo is a replacement I bought from someone one here at OCC. After doing some research, it appears to be a type B for the later wide frames. I bought a refurb kit, which came with 2 of the flat type springs, and I installed them both.

When I got the PTO lever and turnbuckle assembly installed and gave it a test, it was so hard to pull that I actually sheared the temporary bolt I had sitting in the lever actuator. Don't know what I was thinking, there's no way that much force would be needed just to engage a mower deck!

I carefully built and adjusted the PTO to specs, and used the alignment tool. Any ideas? Maybe a WF PTO cannot be used on an NF? Should I take out one of the springs? Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
