i have a pto shaft that came with an old post hole digger, i am wondering if it would be ok to use it on a brush hog. the one on my hog is kinda warped a little and causes a lot of vibration. it has a square shaft and the digger shaft has 3 square sides with one side kinda rounded.....also the release pin on the tractor end is frozen up, any ideas on how to free it up????? i am planning to use it tommorrow, if i get some replys all are appreciated!!!!!bmw

Are you sure yoke is not stuck to pto shaft, after being hooked up for quite a while they will stick from dirt moisture and rust you may have to beat it off pto shaft. next time put anti sieze on pto shaft makes removel easier. when its been on tractor all summer. as far as trusting shaft be safe go buy correct one new. cheaper than a hosiptail bill if some thing comeds flying up and nails you in back of head

If you are describiing what I think you are, my opinion is do not trust it. All of the shafts I have seen on old diggers and some newer ones are hollow and I would not trust any of them on a brush cutter.

You have two other options for the end of the shaft. Your local farm store should carry a replacement thumb pin kit for around 7 bucks that you can use to fix it. Beat the old out, put the new in etc. Or you could also just not use it and stick a 1/4 bolt through the hole in the yolk and in the tractor stub. If you do choose to fix it make sure you have a center punch as that is the tool needed to make sure the pin doesn;t just fly out.

Only to echo the other person, pto shafts come in different hp ratings. The 3-sided sometimes are a little weaker, square can be weak or strong - I won't try to guess from here...

And, liquid wrench/ pb blaster & some tapping with a hammer should loosen the thumb pin right up.

Drivelines have a horsepower rating, and if the shaft has an adequate HP rating, you should be OK.

A machine shop that works with drivelines should be able to look at the unit, or get some ID numbers off of it, and tell you what it's rated.

Make sure when it's installed that the shafts are telescoped inside each other an adequate amount so they cannot come apart in operation.

To loosen the attachment pin, soak it down for a day or two with your favorite tiger pi$$, such as PB Blaster, and alternate light tapping with a small hammer (preferably brass), with repeat applications of rust buster spray until it loosens up.
