I have been wanting to upgrade my PTO with a 1 3/8 shaft for a long time. But, after all the horror stories I've read on here about people trying to get them out, I just never tried it.
But now that I've removed my top cover to replace a bent control rod and the appropriate things like the piston and relief valve, I have decided to remove the pump and clean everything out good.
So I attempted to remove the PTO shaft this morning. I removed the four bolts and that thing slid out of there like it was just put in at the factory yesterday.
In the ten years I've been brush hogging it's seen a lot of hard use, especially when I first got the tractor and had to clear 30 years of brush growth. And the mower didn't have a stump jumper on it because I didn't know there was one available for it. I put that on like three years ago.
So anyway guys I posted this so if any of your are putting off updating your PTO shaft, they are not all horror stories
