Default Question re. PTO field coil repair...

I have 2 working PTOs (at least they worked on the tractor...) and both have cracked and flaking "potting material" insulation. I'm attempting to get my 1450 back online (hence the recent flurry of questions) and need some advice on repairing the field coil. I'm going to attempt the "better" of the 2 first.

As you can see from the pic - there is about about a 1.5" inch section of damage - part where the coil is exposed, the other where the insulation is peeling up.

I've viewed other threads that state to use JBweld to re-insulate the damaged area - but I've got a question (see picture below) - is it ok to get JBweld down into the areas indicated in red? In other words, is is OK for the JBWeld to cover the bad area and get down into the gap between the outer edge of the coil and the metal housing (I would just cover affected area and scrape the JBWeld level with housing) or would this prevent thing from fitting back together correctly, requiring me to fashion some sort "dam" between the inner and outer edges of the coil and housing (gap highlighted in red) - so the JBWled only sat on top of the coil?

Thanks,

-Calvin

Fill it in with JB Weld. Won't hurt a thing. I did it to mine.

Two part epoxy works well also. I did that to 682 I had.

I had a lot more missing than in your pix,and I used a 30 min. hobby epoxy (2 part) it is still working fine today (maybe 250 hours)
I carefully removed any loose old epoxy and filled the whole coil cavity with new, letting it cure a full 24 hours.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
