[R-390] Motorola PTO

[ToddRoberts2001 at aol.com]

I have straightened out an R-390A PTO shaft- end by hand before. The  shaft 
is made of stainless
steel I think and not hard at all to bend. It was the end of the shaft  
protruding from the
PTO. I used a set of Vise Grips and just carefully bent it back into  shape 
as close as I could
get it to perfect by sighting along the shaft and turning the shaft.  It 
now turns just fine with good 
precision and no binding. Not sure if your situation is similar but the  
shaft can be bent by hand using simple tools and patience.

I am looking for two things: a replacement PTO,  but also a replacement 
tuning 
shaft as I plan to try and rebuild the one I  have as a spare. The 
gentleman that 
rebuilt his COSMOS PTO has inspired me.  I would also appreciate any advice 
on 
the subject.

thank  you
