Mowing PTO plastic guard

[Acethe3rd]

Hello. I know this has been talked about on here before but here goes. Anyone have a clue as to get this off without cutting it off? I have pushed, pulled, read, watched, basically looked everywhere. I can’t get it off.

flat blade screwdriver to push in the white plastic tabs?

I'll agree with the screwdriver pressure assessment. You'll have to push both sides in at the same time so it will probably take s second person. Those things arre NOT easy to pull back by design.

Had one that was 3 little screws. And the collar rotated so re-aligning the holes back up was super duper fun..

That is the truth. This one has baffled me. About to go back out and try it again. Thank you.

If you want to keep the guard on it swap it out for one from Bare-Co.
Bare Co USA - PTO Select Safety Guards

these guards are easy to release and retract and reconnect

The good (??) news is that it will probably fall apart on its own after a few uses.

Thank you. I needed good news after fighting this. Back to it in the morning. It is coming off!
