[AT] pto shaft problem-got it!

[Lew Best]

Hey guys

Well I got it moving!  

Hooked a chain to the support for my sunshade (quite strong) & to the
yoke; tried lifting & dropping it so the chain supported tiller weight;
no help.  Beat around on it after cutting the guard sleeves off &
putting brake fluid where I could (shaft was in completely collapsed
position) & still no go.

Got to thinking it probably didn't pick up totally parallel to the
drawbar so lowered it; hooked a chain as shown in
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v707/lewbest/pto/upl.jpg & it slid
right apart when I lifted the 3PT hitch.  :)  :)  :)  Lotsa rust to
clean up as you can see.

Thanks again for all the tips!!!!!!!!!

Lew

Hey guys
 
Bought a Kubota tiller attachment from a friend bout a year ago.  Don’t
think he’d used it in a few years.
 
The PTO shaft (where it slides in & out controlling the length) is stuck
tight.  Cut part of the guard off the u-joint so I could put a high-lift
jack in; no movement.  Hooked the yoke to the tractor with a chain &
dragged the tiller around the pasture with the yoke & still no movement.
 
I’d like to till up a small area tomorrow; any ideas anyone?
 
Thanks!
