Thanks for the ideas. I've owned the tractor for more than ten years and never had reason to go into the transmission itself so I'm skeptical about the bearing retainer. I have replaced the PTO bearing now that you mention it; I staked it on as you mention -- I wonder if my staking job let go?
I think I'll pull the PTO bearing back apart and re-stake, renew the pilot bushing and see if I'm lucky.
Has anyone fabricated a longer collar that would grab more of the trans. shaft splines but still be able to release fully? I'm tempted to weld two collars together using a junk shaft to align the splines & hold the units to a true center, then cut off the 'extra' shifter lever groove to make the length as long as possible.
I'm worried that somehow the splines on the trans. shaft have worn in such a way that they're acting like a Bendix on a starter, trying to throw the collar rearward. They don't look worn, but removing that shaft looks like a big pain.
