[AT] pto shaft problem-got it!

[Louis]

With those types of shaft,  If they get twisted or bent just the slightest
bit, they will not move. When I still farmed, when one of those European
shafts would get messed up, I would throw it out and refit it with good old
square shaft and standard size u-joints.

Those types of shafts are commonly held in with roll pins.  You should be
able to look in the end of the shaft and see where the pins are.  If you
need new shaft and tube, I can get them for you.  I am a Tisco and A&I
dealer.

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!
