MT515E, MT525E, MT535E, MT545E Manual Extract – Power Take-Off

The rear PTO (Power Take-Off) system features a housing attached to the “HA180” rear axle, accommodating all rear PTO components. It includes several key elements:

• The Clutch: Located on the upper shaftline, it precedes the PTO housing and manages movement transmission.
• Upper Shaftline: Equipped with a shaft and gears transmitting motion from the clutch to the driven gears.
• Lower Shaftline: Receives motion from the upper shaftline, transmitting it to implements via an output shaft, available with varying lengths and spline configurations (6, 20, or 21 splines).
• The Brake: Positioned behind the clutch piston, it engages when the PTO is inactive, thanks to pressure maintained by spring washers.
• The Controls: Activated by solenoid valves at the rear of the housing, these controls default to a neutral position when not supplied.

Proper lubrication of rear PTO components is crucial:

• The Clutch and Upper Shaftline: Oil is delivered under pressure to these areas through internal lines, regulated by a nozzle and multiple restrictors.
• The Lower Shaftline: Lubricated via splash and targeted oil jet, ensuring efficient operation of internal lines.
