Front PTO on AC 714S

[SteveinOhio 0]

Should a pto assembly from a Simplicity 663 fit on the AC 714 tractor? I have the parts for the front pto that came with the blower, but they don't appear to be a correct fit. I know that the shaft on the Kohler engine is 1 1/8" and the pto parts are for a 1" shaft, but I supposedly have found a source for them, but the backet in the parts manual #171807 is different for the 42" blower and the 36" blower. Any idea why?? The clutch for and the bracket seem to be the problem. Again any help is appreciated. Steve in Ohio

My AC 716 was 1", if you haven't measured your 714 yet it may be 1" and what you already have may just fit on? I don't get the 36" bracket comment on the part either, someone else will have to come up with an answer to that one!

I am not sure what you are trying to say, but I know there is a differant kit for the clutches that says to make the older blowers fit it. All it is, is a differant bale for the clutch. I think I have one of these kits that is NOS.
