⚠️This PTO failure started with something simple—a broken pump support bracket.⚠️
Once the bracket broke, the weight of the pump was no longer supported, putting all the stress on the PTO mounting location. Eventually, the mounting area failed, dumping the transmission fluid and leaving this truck out of service.
It’s a good reminder that small issues can quickly turn into major breakdowns when they’re ignored. Regular inspections and preventative maintenance can save you a lot of downtime and money.
If your truck or equipment is making unusual noises, vibrating more than normal, leaking fluid, or just doesn’t seem right, don’t wait until you’re stranded on the side of the road.
