I bought a used L3940 about a month ago.
I put $ down on a used L2195A, 74" front mount blower, and I go to pick it up next weekend.
As such, I wanted to have my PTO installed for when I got back.
Yesterday, I installed my mid-PTO. I'll try to spell out the couple minor difficulties/oddities that I saw.
The PTO:
Install the shift arm with roll pin. I had to loosen the bolt on the collar plate, then re-tighten it.
Other stuff in the box, somewhat laid out:
Needed snap ring pliers for this sub-assembly:
The victim:
The plate that needs to come off. A small enough screw driver and a big enough hammer does it. It is RTV'd on quite well.
After the plate is removed. Remember to clean the surface well.
The PTO, ready to go on. Tap in the pins, lay down some RTV (make sure to buy it ahead of time, kit doesn't come with any sealant/gaskets).
And installed, I engaged the pto and spun it by hand back/forth while tightening bolts to make sure gear meshed right. I doubt I would have had to, but I did. At some point, I noticed the rear PTO turn. Perfect...
Virtually impossible to show, but this is a support arm. You unbolt the fender from the "outside", then bolt this on from the inside, then put nuts on the longer bolts to hold the fender on from the outside. They "eye" aligns with the hole by the seat where a new grommet goes. The other sub-assembly installs easily with two bolts. Couldn't get a picture of it, but the directions show exactly how it goes.
