Hopefully there's some 8n experts on here too help me out
My buddy picked up an 8n last summer, it had the old pto shaft which was the smaller size, so he got an adapter for it and ran a tiller on it and kept blowing up the adapter. If you ask me the tractor is more meant for tilling, it's way too fast and they're likely the issue with busting adapters. However since then he bought a new shaft, pulled out the old shaft and replaced it with a modern size 1 3/8 spline, so now he's got the proper diameter spline for modern pto equipment, however he has 2 new problems.
#1 after reinstalling the new shaft he can no longer disengage the pto lever, pto runs constantly unless the clutch is pressed
#2 and the biggest issue, the spline that sticks out the back of the tractor is so short that you cannot fasten your implement pto shaft to it, the pto shaft will hit the round bearing housing which holds the pto shaft on the tractor before it slides on far enough to engage the detent which holds the shaft in place. Due to this he bought a 6 inch extender for his tractor pto so he had clearance, however then when cutting the shaft to fit it's so short that you can't lift the implement without pulling the shaft apart. There has to be a work around for that tractor pto without using an extender on it.
