Merry Christmas! Could someone shed some light on the name and function of the twisted bits of metal in the first picture? I believe they are the parts circled in red in the second pic.
Backstory: In about 1980 the little fergie was slammed backwards into a wall and the PTO shaft driven forwards, likely causing the damage in the photo. Since then the PTO has been difficult to engage. Last week I broke a selector (1st / 2nd) and had to crack her open to replace it. While I'm there I'd like to fix the PTO issue, but the manual isn't telling me much.

Apologies for the non-linked pics, the forum won't like me insert pictures yet
