    GF 1800 PTO output Shaft

    Lost the front bearing on the PTO output shaft. Found it after replacing the seal twice. Pulled it apart and found there is a groove in the shaft where the seal rides. Has anyone put a speedi-sleeve on a PTO shaft to repair it? A new shaft is $200, and a speedi-sleeve is about $50.

    GF1800E (2WD) PTO seal

    For the 3rd time the PTO output seal has blown out. Any ideas what's going on? The vent seems to be clear, correct amount of oil. The Kubota seal is one of those with the rubber around the OD of the seal and honestly, I think it's easier than it should be to drive it in. Anyone have any ideas or...
