Massey Ferguson 5455, 5465 Tractor 4-speed PTO

Engine speed is transmitted to the Massey Ferguson 5455, 5465 tractor PTO clutch (1) fitted at the front of the centre housing.

The intermediate shaft (2) is linked via splines at one end to the clutch and at the other end either to the double gear (13) for the 2-speed power take-off PTO version, or to the dog clutch sleeve (31) for the economy 4-speed PTO version.

The double gear (13) turns on the two tapered roller bearings (3) (4) and (7) (8) respectively mounted in the bore of the centre housing and the cover plate (10).

A piston (9), housed in the cover plate and controlled by the 17 bar hydraulic system, allows braking of the double gear (13) when the control lever is placed in the PTO brake position.

4-speed PTO

This feature allows the 540 rpm or 1000 rpm speeds to be obtained at an engine speed of 1550 rpm.

Standard position

When the sleeve (31) is moved forwards, the intermediate shaft (2) is secured to the shaft (35) that drives the double driving gear (13). This configuration is identical to the 2-speed power take-off PTO version.

Economy position

By moving the sleeve (31) backwards, the drive is transmitted to the dog gear (34) (which rotates freely on the shaft (35)) and to the double gear (18) which drives the driving gear (13). The ratio of the double gear (18) is 1.292.

PTO brake

When the button is in the MF 5455, 5465 power take-off PTO brake position, the PTO brake solenoid valve mounted on the right-hand cover plate is opened. The chamber behind the piston (9) is supplied.

The piston moves, compressing the cup (8) on the cone (7) while gradually immobilising the driving gear (13), constantly engaged with the 540 rpm and 1000 rpm gears.

Push on the gear (13). Position the washer (33). Install the circlip (32).

In the gear (18), position the spacer (19) and the needle roller bearings (17) (20). Position the double gear assembly (14). Fit the washer (16) smeared with miscible grease (Amber Technical or equivalent).

Check that the channels in the pin (23) are not blocked. They are used for lubricating the needle roller bearings (17) (20) and the front bearing of the pinion. Slightly engage the pin (23) in order to hold the washer (16) in place. Position the washer (21) smeared with miscible grease. Centre the double gear assembly (14).

Definitively fit the pin (23) into the gear assembly (14) and in the fork (26) while ensuring the correct positioning of the hole for the set screw (22).

Smear screw (22) with Loctite 542 and tighten to a torque of 28 - 43 Nm.

Clean the mating face of the cover plate (10).
