Description

If your Ford New Holland tractor’s PTO system isn’t shifting speeds properly or you’re hearing grinding noises when engaging two-speed mode, chances are good this internal drive gear is worn out. This little gear is what makes the difference between your standard 540 RPM and the higher speed setting – and when it wears down, you lose that versatility that makes these tractors so useful for different implements.

What You’re Getting

Essential component for two-speed PTO systems on Ford New Holland 10 Series tractors including models 5610 (65 HP), 6610 (75 HP), 7610 (85 HP), and 8210 (100 HP)
Precision-cut gear teeth designed to mesh smoothly with the PTO clutch assembly
Heat-treated steel construction handles the high torque loads from full-power PTO operation
Available in 20-tooth and 41-tooth configurations depending on your specific transmission setup

Built for Real Farm Work

This gear fits the workhorses of medium to large-scale farming operations – tractors that spend their days powering everything from hay balers and brush hogs to feed mixers and post-hole diggers. The two-speed PTO system is particularly valuable for loader work, PTO operations, and tasks requiring frequent speed changes without stopping. Whether you’re running lighter implements that work best at standard speed or heavy-duty equipment that needs the higher RPM setting, this gear makes that flexibility possible.

Made to Last

PTO gears take serious abuse – they’re constantly under load, dealing with shock from implement engagement, and exposed to the heat and pressure of transmission fluid. This gear is manufactured to handle those demanding conditions with precision-cut teeth that maintain proper mesh even after thousands of hours of operation. The steel alloy resists wear while the heat treatment prevents the gear teeth from rounding off under heavy loads.

Good to Know

This isn’t a job for the weekend mechanic – replacing PTO drive gears requires splitting the transmission and specialized tools for proper installation. The system maintains 240-260 PSI operating pressure for reliable power shifting, so proper sealing and adjustment are critical. While you’ve got things apart, it’s smart to inspect the other PTO components and replace any seals that show wear. Your local Ford dealer or experienced transmission shop can handle the installation and make sure everything’s adjusted properly.
