PTO wet kit conversion
« on: June 02, 2016, 02:54:29 PM »
All,
I have been researching how to properly grease the splines on the Pto and came across several threads referencing a wet kit conversion. 

Hoping other Beavers have information concerning how to properly grease the spline (best grease to use), how often and how much grease to use?

Here is what I have discovered so far;

Chelsea Parker makes a special grease for this application.  Recommended for heavy equipment, continuous load applications. 

JDRV.com sells complete wet kits for the conversion and has lots of information regarding this issue.
AND, of course they highly recommend converting to the wet system.

Appreciate your thoughts!

Regards,

David,
Unless I missed something in the article, it pertains primarily to greasing the drive shaft. 

I'm asking about the PTO which drives a pump to supply hydraulic fluid to the side cooling fan motor and the steering gear. 

Appreciate the tap back.
