PTO broken

[quinten]

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this PTO? The gearbox is broken when I was trying to remove the plug.

That's an odd way for that to break. Was the plug extremely tight, or the wrong plug that a previous owner forced in there?

A proper repair might include either a new case, or welding/drilling/retapping.

Is the case made out of aluminium? Or is it a alloy?

And the plug was extremely tight.

What Year is the cruiser? 81/82 is the hardest housing to locate. A 83+ you could switch the internal part from yours to a single direction. Those are easier to find. That is assuming yours is a two ditection which most all 4X series got.

The case is made of aluminum.

The cruiser is from 1980. It is indeed a cable switch two direction PTO.

80 Model or 80 build date? 8/80 to 10/82 used the cable to operate. 10/82+ the shift lever moved to the front of case.

It is a bj40 from 1980

I am going to try welding the case, hopefully it will hold...

I think I'd have that ground flush with the case, welded over entirely, and use a new bung nearby as a drain.

Unless those threads could be recreated perfectly a repaired drain would probably leak.

Needs a solid tig weldor either way.
