Just wondering if there are any complaints out there of poor reliability of the front PTO drop box drive shaft set up, we seem to be having trouble with the shaft and splines chopping out at low hours, have also had a couple of gearboxes destroy themselves, only seems to be a problem on front PTO ready machines WITHOUT front PTO, in saying that we don't have many units out there with front PTO, there is an ASIST on it about alignment but it is dowelled so you cant really move it to adjust.
Any thoughts??

?? in our T8. tractors there is front PTO ready, and without Front PTO, the gearbox is disconnect, some we have none problem with that.
There is not oil in the gearbox on a blue tractor, not before that there is an Front PTO on the tractor

The gearbox drives the cooling fan on the magnums so if we disconnect it the fan stops driving

Okay, not good...... I have not heard anything about that problem from my CaseIH colleges
But maybe they don't buy them with frontpto ready kit...
