Hi guys it is John again with the Agco Allis bevel gear box. I just installed a used BGB from the 70” s, shafts were nice and tight installed new seals but when I went to put the PTO the pivot spring loaded pulley assembly and the retaining ring (#2172206sm) it keeps popping out of the grove on the shaft. I tried a couple of other old retaining rings, and they do the same. I took a hack saw blade and cleaned out the grove, but the shaft is so hard that all it did was polish the grove. The grove appears deep enough. I ordered a new retaining ring and waiting for it to come in. I have a thought that if the new ring does not work can I use a “C” clip in that grove if that holds (see photo attached). What a project still better than buying a new tractor, I THINK! Thanks for all your help
