Case 555 Haybine Woes

The tong 555 haybine split and I had to get it welded. Putting it back on with help from my cousins kid (who had a college football scholarship) we got the PTO shaft spline lined up and the thing in with only 3/4 of an inch to go. And it stuck. We tried prying and pushing and wiggling to no avail. It was getting dark so I came back after work the next day and looked up where the tong went and looked but I could not see what was holding it. Got a neighbor to bring his tractor over, he was going to push from one end and I on my tractor from the other end. Neighbor took one look at it and said why is this bolt here. The carriage bolt for the hose clamp had fallen down and that was the culprit. Never even thought to look there. But it sure is good to have neighbors!
