I just bought a used post hole digger. Everything seems to work great except the pto shaft is siezed - won't slide in and out.

Whats the best way of breaking this free?? I tried spraying break-free oil and letting it sit in a vertical postion all night to let it soak down into the shaft - but still tight as anything.

Suggestions? Thanks!

Soak it every other day for a week or two with PB Blaster. Then use either of the suggestions already mentioned (hammer or chain). Personally I like the chain method, but the hammer is great if you are having a bad day!

we always chained one end to a tree & other end to tractor & pull apart. they are tough; you won't hurt them that way.

Check and make sure the shaft isn't bent. It wouldn't take much of a bend to make it stick.
If its straight keep poring the penitrating oil to it, it may take several days to soak all the way through. Then its hammer time. Start easy then work out your frustrations on it.
Worst thing that could happen is you would have to find a replacement shaft.
