67 ford 2000 pto shaft will not come out

Hi all, brand new here. Last year I bought a 1967 Ford 2000 3 cylinder. It has been working fairly well and I have been fixing the little things as I go. On my last mowing the pto seal let loose because the seal sleeve walked on the shaft and before I noticed, a lot of fluid had escaped and covered the mower. I am now trying to replace the seal and I took the bearing support off and the bearing and the sleeve came off with the bearing retainer but the shaft won't come out. I can get it to move forward and back with the pto disengaged. If I engage the pto it pulls if back into the tractor. Either way it feels like a hard stop after moving a little. How do I get this out? Is there something I am missing? I know it has been apart before because the bearing support was full of silicone on the gasket surface. Do I need to split the tractor?
Thank you in advance. I am looking forward learning more.

The shaft is twisted where it slides into the coupler sleeve. I had one and had to pull it really hard with a 2x4 wedged between the bearing support and the housing and wacking on it with a pipe as a pry bar. When it comes out, you will need a new or used pto shaft for sure... and maybe a coupler it it is too far gone. I got by with just a used pto shaft off of ebay. Someone must have really hit something big with the shredder???

Thank you for the info. That would make sense because there should be nothing else holding it in. I will see what I can attach to the shaft to pull it out. Who knows what kind of abuse this thing has had. Guess I'll see once its out.
Thank you!

(quoted from post at 05:49:18 12/19/22) Slide an implement drive shaft onto the tractor PTO shaft and beat on it with a BFH. That might be the quick
way to do it.

I will give that a try. I've got an old one laying around I can use..
Thanks
 
I parted out a 3000 - same as your 2000
back there.
Had the transmission sold.
I could not get the pto shaft to pull out
of the splined coupler so I could seperate
the transmission from the rear end.
I ended up removing the lift cover and
using a cutting wheel on an angle grinder
to cut the pto shaft in half.
Once it was apart I discovered the tractor
had been run with too long of a drive line
on a mower so the front end of the pto
shaft and rear end of the output shaft on
the transmission had been jammed together.
This had caused burrs on the ends of both
shafts so they would not pull out of the
splined coupler.
Once apart it was a simple task to use a
pry bar to remove the coupler from the
output shaft.
If I had known Bern then I would have
followed his advice and saved myself from
ruining a good pto shaft.
 
It's extra work but you can take the lever off the left side and the collar will come out with the shaft. I'll go with the shaft splines being
twisted. Mine did that once when the snow blower swung across center and punched the shaft in. Only about 1/8 inch so no damage. I changed the
pitch with the top link just a little and it was OK. I always check that now.
 
Thanks Ultradog, I am thinking that is what happened here too. It feels like the end has burrs or is twisted due to the way it has a hard stop when I pull on it. It will actually pull the handle out of disengagement if I pull hard on the shaft so it is definitely hanging up on the sleeve.
 
Mike, Thanks for the info.
I know it is going to be some work to get it repaired. I may just put it back together with then new seal then start looking for a replacement 4 speed PTO shaft.
At least if it is together I can put the blade on for the snow that is coming and hopefully if I don't use the PTO I wont lose my hydraulic fluid again.
