Dong Feng Bulldog 254 How to remove PTO shaft?

I read your post with great interest, as I also have Dong Feng, and like your father, find that PTO guard to be a nuisance.  So much so, that I have more than once thought about undoing those same four bolts to remove the guard.  Your plight has dispelled any notion I have about ever removing that guard.

I've not chimed previously as I have no direct experience with disassembly/reassembly.  However, I'd heard that my importer had to removed/replace a PTO shaft that got sheared off while one of his tractors was still under warranty, he may be able/willing to help you out.

Ray Hillman at http://www.devonntractors.ca/Index.htm  is a Dong Feng dealer and really good mechanic, he may be willing to help you out as well. 

I hope this helps.

pulling the pto guard is not the end of the world project just put the bolts back in and your good to go, it is just the bolts have two functions, hold the shaft in place and hold the guard in place. so put the bolts back in place.

Hi,

Did you get to find an answer?

I also need to know how to remove the PTO housing on the same beast so that I can get access to the rear wheel shafts lock nuts.

This will allow me to slide the rear wheel axle out to replace its leaking oil seals.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Warwick

I have a 2005 le 204a lenar (dong feng). I pulled out just the pto shaft to have it drilled for a over run clutch ( it just has a single stage clutch) . It came straight out , I remember filing down sharp edges so a new seal would slide in easier without pinching. I do not know anything other than that, I wish I could help you more.
