Wow! Thanks Rod! That's more info than I ever hoped for. The PTO shifter assembly is a casting that mounts directly to the rear of the countershaft on the transmission. The coupling is a spool riding inside the casting that is slid forward by a fork when the PTO is engaged to couple the PTO shaft to the countershaft. It is a sliding spline configuration, but only without power supplied to engage the drive end splines. When it's running, it should stay in a static position. I'm not sure about the PTO shaft strength, but I do know that the hardness of the coupling was measured at 55 Rockwell. I suspect the shaft is similar. Incidentally, The drive end splines are slightly larger and finer at 1 3/8" and they are only 3/4" long to begin with. About the only two PTO driven implements I can ever anticipate using are a bush hog and a tiller. I suppose that I could risk it and make darn sure that I was using a soft shear pin in the external PTO shaft.
