1755 pto shaft-what am I doing wrong?

I am trying to get the pto shaft out of a 1755 I bought to revive. I screwed a bolt into the end, applied slight pressure and hit it with the impact wrench like I did to remove the shaft from my 1955 years ago which came out immediately, all it does is turn the pto assembly, wondering if I missed a step somewhere
 
You did take the snap ring out and the O-ring plus the short plug? On a 50 & 55 series there are 2 sets of splines you need to line up for the shaft to be removed. I think you don't have both sets lined up.
 
yes the snap ring and plug are removed, an old Oliver mechanic was the one who told me to spin it with the impact to line up the splines, worked good on the 1955
 
I pulled the one out of the 2-105 about ten days ago. It came back about a foot then felt like it was hitting something springy. I kept turning it a little at a time and pulling a little harder. I finally hit the sweet spot and it popped right out.
 
That's what spinning the shaft with an impact does, I'm wondering if the pto is smoked and the plates are warped, the shaft came out of my 1955 without much problems, this one is being a little tougher
 
The worst one I ever took apart was an 1850 with the splines torn up at the drive end. I had to put the hammer part from a slide hammer on my threaded rod to hammer that one out.
 
Smart to stop, but it may need a bit more, that's always the question. I'd try and get some play, push it back in. With some play it might just be off a bit. It could've just wore itself in there and off.

You sure it needs to come out? I ask this because my profession is taking houses apart and putting them back together, biggest problem people have is knowing when to stop. It's real easy to tear things apart, not so easy to put them back together. Broke many things in my day that didn't need touched, learned how they went back together, the education is invaluable, but... My first bike didn't last a week before it was in pieces, I even took the bearings apart, obviously I shouldn't have ruined them, but the education...

I say get it to wiggle a bit first.
