I drove Wendel to work today. On the way in, I stopped by the local transmission shop to check on Nick Kidd's swivel frame Power Wagon. Nick took it to the shop since he couldn't get the truck to move after using the winch. The shop owner said the properly undersized shear pin in the PTO shaft had been replaced with a full size grade 8 bolt, increasing the tensile strength beyond rating. The winch pin didn't shear when it should have. He said the PTO ground the transmission shaft and fried the clutch. Check those pins and carry an extra!
