[AT] pto shaft problem-got it!

[Danny Tabor]

        Not a square tube shaft. I have that same type
on a finish mower and have to fight with it every time
I go to hook up. Seems no amount of grease or oil
keeps it free.  My shaft came from a New Holland rake.
       I should do something about that this winter
before I forget....again?
