"Safety Retainer" Holds Shaft If PTO Breaks Loose POWER TAKE OFFS (PTO'S) Power Take Offs (PTO's) 23-3-3 "It's not a common accident, but I did lose a friend who was grinding feed when the pto shaft became dislodged from the gearbox and flew up and hit him," says Raymond Werner who invented a "safety retainer" to restrain pto shafts if they come loose.
The Winfield, Iowa, farmer's patent-pending invention consists of a steel retainer ring that fits around the pto shaft. It's fitted with a hinge and pin so it can be quickly removed. The ring has an arm attached to a mounting bracket that bolts to the implement.
Like the retainer ring, brackets come in various sizes to accommodate a variety of pto driven implements. They include feed wagons, grain augers, balers, mowers, grain vacuums, grinders, stalk shredders, conveyors and tiling machines.
Price was unavailable at press time. Werner's looking for distributors.
