Fault Phenomenon: XCMG HB66K PTO functions normally when cold. After the PTO operates for 2 hours (operating temperature), abnormal noise occurs, gears heat up, and eventually seizes.
Troubleshooting Process:
– Checked PTO lubricating oil: level normal, oil quality good.
– Checked PTO gears: gear meshing normal, no broken teeth.
– Checked PTO bearings: turn freely when cold.
– Measured PTO housing temperature at operating temperature: found localized overheating.
Root Cause: The PTO bearing clearance is too small, causing it to seize due to thermal expansion.
Required Parts: PTO bearing and seal repair kit.
