Rear Finish Mower PTO Safety Caps

[OzWaz]

Could somebody please help with some advice regarding the removal of the PTO safety cap on a Kubota B1750.

I致e just bought a second hand B1750 and have downloaded and read the manual thoroughly while it does remind you to put the cap back on after using the PTO there are no instructions on how you actually remove it.

I have tried to work it out but it痴 not intuitive as to how it comes off.

Any assistance would be appreciated

Thanks

On my BX2200 the cap clips on. You squeeze the top and bottom to release the tabs.

Thank for the response.

I cannot see any Tabs other devices

Attached is an image showing the view I get from the rear

That looks home made. Try pulling straight back.

Thanks

it apparently has never been off as the machine was used with a deck mower underneath and it had plastic welded itself onto the housing . Just a little tap with a rubber mallet and a twist with multi and it came off no trouble - Thanks

alls good

BUT now I have a bigger which you may be able to help with if you don't mind. I owned a B6000 which died. However the PTO spine on the B1750 does not match any of my current implements. The B6000 had a 26mm shaft with about 20 micro robs the B1750 is larger and has only 6. is there any adapter that I can get so I can keep my existing implements?

Glad the cap came off ok.
As to adapters for the PTO I do not know of any adapters. In my case I have a 40yr old Japanese roto-tiller with the same problem. I had the end of the PTO shaft hub cut off just forward of the U-joint and a six spline hub welded on.
This has worked well on a 5' tiller.

Check with Tractor Supply (or Kubota dealer) for a PTO adapter.

Something like this may be what you need. Check with a local dealer or ag supply place.

Yes that is excellent solution and will solve the problem however I need to go the other way i.e. 6 to 18 (my model had 18 not 21) The site is not useful for Australian customers as it does not have a 'contact' facility and I need USA zip code to find a retailer to ask, but thanks for the lead I am on the right path now

Before you go to for, the B6000 is what Kubota calls a gray market tractor the pto just might turn CC wise.
Check your implements.

 

[OzWaz]

Excellent referral Stephan, however every adapted you could want except 6 to 18. (18 splines must be incredibly rare). I think it is to the tractor wreckers and a special manufacture using an old PTO 18 spline drive fixed into an extension yoke. I cannot think of any other solution.

Thank for the referral, but I need to go the other way. The tractor has a '6' the rotary hoe housing has an '18', so I need a 6 female 18 male adapter. Apparently no such creature exists.

 

[George2615]

You may have to replace the rotary hoe pto fitting to a standard 6 female since the adapter you want doesn't exist.

 

[OzWaz]

Thank you for the suggestion but the B6000 is about 35 years old, so I am told - and professional advice is that parts will not readily be available to enable this to be successfully or cost effectively done. Apparently it would be cheaper just to replace all my 3 implements.

Personally I think this is shame on Kubota that they allowed a change in tractor design to occur without making provision for solving this particular problem, which is the natural consequence of this change.

I'm not saying to change the PTO shaft on the tractor, Change the PTO coupler on the implement to one that fits your tractor. Replace the 18 spline end on the implement PTO shaft with one of these on each implement.

Yeah, as George said, change the tractor end yoke on your implement's PTO shaft. It'll require a bit of work on your part but doable. If for some stupid reason you can't find a yoke with the correct U-joint size, get what they call a "cross-over" U-joint. It will be different sized on each cross but it will work fine. We use them all the time on Jeep buggies.

Your 18 spline stuff is a first for me.

 

[OzWaz]

Thank for the the assist but the problem is that the Rotary Hoe (RH) bolts directly onto the transom of the tractor and the PTO shaft is direct drive into the gearbox of the RH. Therefore the Female spline in the RH is an integral part of the gear box of the RH. I have not opened the gearbox

I think you might be SOL on that set up. Do you have the lower links for the 3 point?
