[AT] PTO shaft grease?

[Mike M]

Thanks guys that give me some ideas to try. Carl, I use a rubber bungee
cord to tie my shafts in the up position when not in use.

Regards, Mike

The only draw back I can complain about is that the two halves of the drive shaft tend to slide apart on their own when I disconnect the drive shaft from the PTO and I have to store the tractor end apart from the implement since the two halves won’t stay together when disconnect. I also is it on the PTO shaft before connecting the drive shaft to the tractor.
