LesH Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 I found an AC 716 H in an auto junkyard just minutes away from being squished in the large yard press!!!! I found it at the top of the pile, they took their magnetic crane and lifted it down to the ground, no hooks......$75. I cleaned it up, changed the fliuds/ filter installed and sdjusted new points and got the engine going and now am in the left side PTO area that drives the deck and rear tiller. Does anyone have any advice on adjustment there or any other good info??? Thanks.
HubbardRA Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 As far as I can tell, there is no adjustment on the PTO on my 716H and 712S. Just torque the nut to the specified amount. Didn't know the number so I tightened mine as tight as I could get it.
maxtorman1234 Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 THe only adjustment i know of is to further disengage the clutch. It is adjusted by turning the nuts in on the rod that engages\disengages it.
slb04786 Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 There are some pads on the inside or backside of the clutch that act as a brake when the clutch/implement is disengaged. Adjust the nuts in or out to make sure the pads are braking the pulleys so there is no free run of implements. Keep the nuts tight so there isn't any play on the actuator rod. Stan
MPH Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Don't have any advice for you on your clutch but I do here by nominate you for the 'Classic Saved the Tractor' Award. Pic would be sweet. Hope it runs for you a long time..MPH
BillC Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Les - My Simplicity Operator's Manual states, "The PTO clutch is properly adjusted when the clutch pulley moves away from clutch cone 1/16" when clutch is disengaged." Bill
