[Cecil R Bearden]

Ralph:
I have a 5000 Ford that I pulled the top deck off back in March of 2012 
to repair the PTO clutch.  We followed the I&T manual but it did not say 
we had to pull off the filter housing from the right side.  There was a 
3/4 inch pipe that threaded into the valve/cylinder under the deck.  It 
broke with only a minor movement of the deck.  Less than 1/8 in !!!!   
Replacement cylinder was over $1500 anda used one was $1000.00...    I 
had a local machinist build a threaded block to fit it, at about 
$300...  However, I have not had time to get it back on the tractor.   
Parts seem to crawl away from the tractor when the sit longer than 5 
minutes...........
