Inspect the planetary thrust washers (Fig. 61) care­
fully for wear or damage. Replace both washers if
necessary.
The planetary carrier cannot be disassembled. It
must be serviced as an assembly if damaged. Check
condition of the pinion teeth and PTO gear teeth on
heavy duty models. If pinion tooth wear is evident, it
will also be necessary to check condition of the annu­
lus gear teeth.
A PTO gear is only used on heavy duty ver­
sions of the NP241. The standard model is not
equipped for PTO capability.
