    It is a presise operation to mount PTO with the correct thickness of gaskets you need to get a bit of backlash play when tightend up 1st you mount the PTO adapter then mount the PTO to adapter feeeling for a bit of backlash when fiddling with the gears or you gunna get a bit of noise when in use one PTO we mounted had to have one of the gears in the adapter ground away to make it fit I can't remember if it was a Mack box or RR cya

    We tried a pre owned ballrace turn table once it was well worn so we put new balls in. the local bearing place had 3/4" balls @ 75cents each ... or 20mm balls (near enuff same size) @ $1.90 each. now we stamdarised on a Quick Realease Turntable with a greasy plate underneath ... the main 12" diameter bronze bush is $150 to replace se we went to the UBute plastics shop and purchased 10' of waist belt size ( 10' x 2" x 1/4" ) @ $35 ... when we winch our trailers up to the QRTT with a mechanical driven winch behind truck cab there is th@ much gearing and momentom th@ we would crush the balls in a ball race turn table cya
