So a few months back I had a guy give me a 3 sided PTO shaft that was stuck tight. A few days ago some one was asking how to get one freed up so I figured what the heck I would free this one up just for fun.
#1 poured ATF on to and into for a few days.
#2 Cut the safety shield off ya some will say not good but there there for the guy who does things the wrong way.
#3 took a 4 ton port-a-power and chained it to the shaft in such a way it would push out on it and used a torch to heat it being careful not to heat up the port-a-power cylinder.
Well that is all it took to free it up. It is laying on my shop floor right now in 2 pieces so I will clean it up lube it up and put it back in service
