I'm striping my parts tractor, trying to remove pto, removed rear two bolts, removed front two bolts that are near gear box, hold a flange of sorts with big looking coil spring behind it, removed shear bolt at gear box, it has turned or slid some where shear bolt is, holes are not lined up anymore, have tried a lil prying with no luck, shouldn't it slide out the rear now? Thanks Dusty
 
The removal of the PTO only requires taking out 3 bolts: the shear bolt and the 2 bolts that hold the carrier bearing that is 6 inches or so from the spline end of the PTO. Once the carrier drops down you should be able to wiggle the shaft off the gearbox.
 
The holes in the end of the PTO shaft are worn and swelled up. Reinstall your two rear hanger bearing bolts and leave out the drive bolt and connect the PTO to something and throw the PTO in gear with some WD40 sprayed on the problem area to get it to wear loose enough to separate.
 
WD-40 what good is a water displacement spray going to do?? That is what WD-40 is and it took them 40 tries to get it right. PB blaster or ATF yes but WD-40 ?????????????????
 
Well, you know what?? I could care less what you prefer to use. When I refer to WD-40, most people understand it is some sort of penetrating oil in a spray can. There are many different brands out there, but none as well known in my opinion. Like I said, you go ahead and use whatever you like. I'll stick with what I like. Get over it.
 
There in no reason to get nasty about thing when some one points out the fact that WD-40 is not a penetrating oil but instead a water displacement formula and does not even do much if any thing to free things up
 
I got what your saying and thanks didn't mean to start argument , but the ol girl doesn't run, so can I pull against it with come a long, or chain it
to another tractor, can't be a 1/16 bur holding me back, thanks again Dusty
 
Slip on a PTO shaft form some thing so you have something to use a bar of some sort to twist with while your pulling and that will pretty much do the same thing as having the engine spinning it and pulling
 
The stub shaft is HARD and the shaft collar is pretty tough stuff too. If the collar isn't worn it doesn't take much of a burr to make removal very difficult. Since you cannot access the burr to remove it it must be either sheared, or worn off by twisting the shaft on the stub as accurately described by the Allis Dr. Easiest done by tractor power, that not being possible you will have to do it via armstrong methods. It doesn't make poo what you use for oil, it isnt going to remove the burr, it is used to prevent the shaft and collar from galling or spin welding itself together. Good luck!
 

As long as you pull straight back on the shaft ( use the cross-bolt hole at the rear), you can use a slide hammer or about anything else..as long as you have the carrier bearing and the front shear bolt removed..
