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.
