Didn?t want to derail the post below about the broken pto pin spring and how to get it apart. So I have started a new post/rant about the tractor end connectors on pto shafts. I hate them ! You have to haul back on a stupid little collar on the yoke, at the same time as you are trying to shove the dang thing forward. Ok maybe it?s not too bad on smaller equipment with a light shaft, and warmer temperatures. But even with warm temperatures of summer with the shaft sliding freely, the sheer weight of holding up the shaft on the pto of my round baler, let alone shoving the shaft forward, while pulling the collar back is madding. And probably more than a older man or a gal can manage. And these collars are equally annoying when temperatures drop and the grease on the shaft doesn?t want to allow the shaft to slid, like when hooking up the snow blower. Rant over.
