L48 pto problem

[irnivek]

Hi. I am guilty. I use my L48 for work. There are scratches. Some dings. A light was ripped off. My tires have gouges in them. My L48 usually makes me money, and at the height of my pride, now the PTO has aparently gone out. It started when running a blewagon hydromotor, and when under heavier load, I would hear a reoccuring "chink" sound, like a chain skipping on a sprocket. I thought it was the hydromotor causing a chain on a balewagon to skip, but in fact it is the PTO. I know, because it got much worse, I tightened the PTO linkage, and it was better for a while, then while bushogging it became, well, a really annoying staccato sound. Any one had this problem? Only 220 hrs on it, a few months old.
Thanks, Kevin

How do you like your L48? Read my post on "out with the L4330 in with the L5030." I am looking for opinions. Yours would be appreciated.
