When I first got my current feed grinder, it had sat outside a few years, and the PTO shaft was rusted tight. It took hours of soaking and heating to get it to slide apart without beating the U-joint ears out of round. Lots of time followed to wire brush the shaft and splines, even a custom-built long-reach drill mounted brush.
Fast forward to Saturday, I go to hook up to the grinder and the shaft won't move again!! GRRR. I got it to extend just enough to hook up and get the load ground. When finished, I unhooked the grinder but left the shaft on, and used the tractor to "gently " pull them apart. I really didn't want to destroy the back end of the tractor, or bend the jack over, so it was pretty light pressure. It came all the way out eventually, along with a bunch of corn and the remnants of a mouse nest!! Must be the mouse urine was acidic enough to rust the splines inside the casing. It's out now, and getting cleaned again. Looking for some steel wool/caulking to block the entry next time.
