I don't think so it's in place and not broken? Spins up just fine but under a load it backs down until PTO stops? Cleared chipper twice and flipped blades to fresh cutting edges? M5700 I thought was a direct engage PTO?

I have an M5700 mid 90's? Model and the chipper on the back is a woodmax. It's been working great for 3 days then today the pto stopped under a load and I can't get it to run loaded again? Disconnect the pto shaft and it engages and spins fine but hook it all up and start working again and it...

If you cant find a weight kit you can build a box with support hangers off the top of the existing and fill it with cement mix to add weight. Looks odd on a vintage rebuild like that but you can paint the box so it matches and still have a clean look

Ok so after thinking on this I thought it might help so I wanted to add this info. I have a generic o ring kit from harbor freight that I used the 24.7 ID 31.7 OD o rings for the pump connections and the 24.4 ID 30.6 OD o rings for the suction tube connections and they are working fine. IDK...

Ok so after a 3 hour round trip to get the right/wrong parts (filters and a generic set of o rings) fresh Hydro oil and a little flushing/run fresh out the bottom drain plug, the orange terror is back at it with no issues so far. IDK if this is normal but i tried pouring some oil down the...

Good tip. I dont have 2 people or air really out there but I'll try to figure out how to "charge" the line prior to start up. Thanks

Thank you both for your help I will be getting all of these parts hopefully today and update the results. If it works I'll be back on here late as I'll be mowing again but if not I'll be back with another step? LMAO

I am going to get the 2nd filter for the Hydro system today and will inquire about the o rings for these suction connections and go ahead and change them as well. What is the connection system on the pipe there where the tandem 050 rings are in the line? I see no "connector" there to...

I'll check the suction side for leaks but the oil is clear and clean maybe just a tiny bit of haze on the stick but nothing if you wipe it on your finger? It didn't make sense that the PTO would stop that easy though? Isn't that gear driven when engaged?

I have an old m5700 that has worked pretty well other than some minor bugs until recently. I was mowing the orchard with the 5 foot flail mower and all was going well until the steering got REALLY jerky and then the 3 point was jumpy and definitely reacted to the steering jumping at the same...
