    PTO - I did make sure the pilot bearing was flush with the end of the crankshaft. I followed the instructions in th service manual. I am going to assume it is just new and needs to be broken in. Engine temp. sorry, forgot to mention, it was just worked hard when that temp was taken...

    does anyone know what the normal operating temperature is for the K301A in a 129? and what is too hot? I used an infrared thermometer and got 550F on top of the head at the cooling fins, and 650F on the side, next to the exhaust port.

    front PTO on a 129. I posted about having trouble adjusting the linkage on a PTO i just replaced, someone wondered if I did not set the PTO back far enough on the shaft. having never replaced one before, it is possible. here is a pic, does anyone think it should go back further?

    Allen Schumacher (Aschumacher) - PTO looks all the way back to me, but i have never replaced one before. i would think if it was not all the way back, you would not get those clips in. it is suppose to rain for like 11 of the next 10 years, but if it ever stops, and before the flood, i will...

    i am referring to transmission speed, not engine speed. tractor increases speed as if i moved the transmission lever further forward. It does sound like Charlie is correct. i will look into it it. as for the smoke, i just replaced the head gasket, maybe it is just the old leaked oil burning...

    the never ending saga of trying to clear the snow from my driveway and the never ending saga of the never ending snowstorms. 129 would only remove the first foot of snow, ride over second foot, sink and get stuck. had to shovel in front of tractor to solid ground, to have a launching point...

    uh oh. might be time to feel stupid. while removing the lift rod i noticed the tractor is buried in the snow. rear tires dug a hole while front tires rode up on snow. which means if i back up... it is not that funny. i forgot it was sitting on 1' of old snow before i tried to move the 1'...

    Charlie "Digger" Proctor (Cproctor) - i think you misunderstood. your advice seems to be for if the thrower is going too low, mine wont go low enough. lowest setting is 6" off the ground. linkage appears to be at max.
