 Topic: D17 Series 4 PTO Lever.
Posted: 30 Jul 2020 at 10:29am |

Hey everyone. The d17 I picked up had a broken PTO lever so I plan on welding a new lever made form steel later today or this weekend. I’ll be using damp rags or air to cool down in between welds to so that it won’t burn the o ring.
The pto thankfully was engaged on so curious as which way approximately the lever would be facing on the engaged position. Any pics would be great.
Thanks

Straight up 12 o'clock when disengaged.

My father's D17 IV PTO level broke off. Family friend (used to work at an A-C dealership as a mechanic) welded it and 40 years later, the O-ring started leaking so I replaced it. Not sure how the welder kept the heat off the O-ring, if done at all.
Good luck.

You'd be doing yourself a big favor to tack weld something to the shaft and get it to the disengaged position.

It's impossible to weld and not melt the O ring! Take the rest of the handle out, weld it then put on a NEW O ring and put everything back together. It's a bit of work, but either way you will need to split so you can replace that O ring.

Have welded a lot of them on without removing . Weld it on, cool it off and go back to work. MACK

Thanks Mack
Yea a few of my friends have welded them back on and as long as they keep it cool between tacks they say they never had any problems. I need to weld mine to have my pto stop spinning. Any idea which way the lever faces engaged? I need to weld it engaged and then after that move it in the 12 o’clock position for disengage. I don’t remember if it’s 9-10 or 2-3 o’clock for engaged.

Engaged: from memory and guess, about at the 10:30 clock orientation.
But I can give you a good answer tomorrow if you want.

Thanks Stan. I appreciate that. I’ll wait to weld tomorrow. Worst case is doesn’t work and it will get split this winter when I freshen it up and paint it. I mainly just want to disengage the pto for the summer and fall.
