PTO Shaft Insert Removal

I just purchased an older MF brush hog. The pto shaft has an insert to accommodate a smaller pto. It is too small for my PTO, and I need to remove it. I"ve tried tapping it out, but it"s not budging. I don"t see any set screw, or anything else that is holding it in. Is there some trick to removing it, or do I just need to really give it a good hard shot and force it out?

Thank you.

Sounds like it's the sleeve style adapter. Probably held in by the locking spring pin (button) that holds the joint ot the shaft- and I'm guessing that then the joint has a cross hole drilled through it that the owner used to shove a bolt through it to hold it on the tractor.

You're gonna have to find a way to hold the button to release it from the sleave, then you'r still probably gonna need a hammer and punch because it's probably rusted in there tight.

Best bet would be to put it in a vise to hold the button.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Turns out it was just a matter of hitting it hard enough. There were no pins or screws or anything.

Thanks again.

Most of the adapters like you are talking about have a groove in them (like the tractor pto shaft) and are held in place by the PTO lock pin. It's just a matter of pushing the pin as if you were releasing it from your tractor and removing the adapter.

If it has been on there any length of time it may be rusted in place. A good shot of PB Blast will help free it up.

I have seen some adapters with a spring pin. The spring pin is usually hidden under a grease fitting. I don't believe this is the case with your situation.

Hope this helps
