Ohhhh no!
I was running a wood chipper on my grey TE20 and it got jammed on a log at high RPM and the tractor stalled. The PTO engage lever was stuck (engaged) and I could not disengage. After talking to someone they suggested the most likely cause is a twisted PTO shaft...?
I have removed the PTO engage lever cover and managed to disengage the PTO but... the shaft itself will not come out.
After several hours and a LOT of brute force (8lb sledgehammer on a fabricated tool attached to the PTO- aka homemade slide hammer) I have managed to extract it approximately 50mm (2") but can not extract it any further.
What now?? I imagine its jammed in the HYD pump but cant see any splines at all through the side cover. I cant drop the bottom plate as the HYD pump still has the shaft through it. Arrrrggghhhh
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP
