Cub pto

I was putting the pto pulley on using a wood block and tapped the center hub onto the shaft. After a bit the shaft itself moved in about an inch. I was able to tap it back out but I haven't engaged my pto yet. Wanted to be sure I didn't screw something up first. With the engine off It spins easily when not engaged and when when engaged it doesn't. Can someone give me a little insight here please?
 
It will not turn when enguaged with engine off but will spin when its out of gear. So have it rite now start engine and see if it turns when enguaged and clutch is released.
 
My question is with me accidentally knocking the pto shaft in a little did that hurt anything? I was able to tap it back where it was.
 
the cub PTO shaft rides in a bearing retained in the back of the plate where the PTO exits the transmission. It sounds like you were able to either: 1. drive the shaft out of the bearing or 2. drive the shaft and bearing out of the retainer. The bearing should be staked onto the shaft or secured with snap rings (later version). The bearing is then (as far as I can remember) held into the retainer by a snap ring.

I think I'd remove he PTO unit and check it out. It's not a difficult job.
 
There should have been 2 things keeping that shaft from moving forward. First, there is a shoulder on the shaft that keeps the shaft from sliding further into the transmission unless the bearing moves forward. The snap ring/staking, depending on which you have keeps it from sliding out. The clutch shaft should have also prevented it moving forward more than a bout 1/4 inch, so the retainer at the front of the transmission may be installed incorrectly. Is this a new cub to you, or have you had problems in the past with the pto not staying engaged?
 
I have owned the cub a little over a year now but never had an issue. Sometimes I would just turn the pto on to let it turn because I didn't use it till now.
 
So in other words I need to pull my pto and check everything out? Could someone kinda explain that process to me?
 
i would fire her up, engage pto and ease out on the clutch. if it works it works and if it does not it does not. then tear it down if it does not, or makes noise.
