The PTO shaft on the D4 was in neutral and I gave it a spin and discovered it had a wobble of about !/4 inch! I thought about disassembling it
but decided not to as it got bent on the machine so likely I could straighten it on the machine as well. It took all the pressure the 12 ton jack could
muster to get it straight. I started with 6 pumps on the handle.... nothing... Then went to 8 and there was some improvement. I ended up giving
it 11 pumps on the handle to get it to run true. I'm not sure what I would ever use the PTO for but it is nice to know that it is straight now and
in usable condition. Hopefully someone on HM will find this useful or at least interesting.
Here is a photo of the set up with the hydraulic jack conveniently sitting on the draw bar with a chisel propped underneath
for the proper angle.
