How to Identify your Countax tractor

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my drive shaft is worn?
Worn drive shaft symptoms include grinding noises during engagement, vibration at rear of equipment, slipping under load, excessive play in splines, or visible bending. Inspect shafts annually replacing when worn.
Why does my Personal Pace shaft have excessive play?
Excessive shaft play indicates worn bearings supporting shaft, damaged splines, missing spacers, or bent pivot arms. This play causes grinding and gear stripping requiring bearing and shaft replacement.
What causes Countax drive shafts to fail?
Drive shaft failure results from worn splines preventing power transfer, bent shafts from obstacle impacts, broken couplings from excessive shock loads, or lack of lubrication causing binding. Replace damaged shafts immediately.
How long do Countax drive shafts last?
Drive shaft longevity varies by model and usage but typically lasts 5-10 years with proper lubrication and maintenance. Impact damage from obstacles causes premature failure regardless of age.
Can I lubricate existing Countax drive shafts?
Lubricate exposed drive shaft splines using appropriate grease at seasonal intervals preventing wear, though sealed shafts cannot be serviced. Clean dirt from shafts before lubricating preventing abrasive contamination.
