> Since the PTO knob drives the PTO shaft directly, there's only one place
> for backlash, the thread and the slug. Likely the grease has solidified
> (mine did decades ago) and pushed the antibacklash spring out of the
> thread in the shaft. Generally means the PTO has to come out and
> apart and have the hardened grease softened and removed. There
> are some loose pieces that can be lost. But it is a practical
> maintenance item. I'm sure there's a web page giving photographic
> details on how to do it, but I don't have the link.
