/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif I received my PHD from Northern Tool today. I've got the boom on the top of the third point and the U-frame in the middle hole. The problem is the shaft does not reach the PTO (about 14" away). The auger is about 4" of the ground. Do I need to buy an extension? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif I've attached a photo for you to see.
HELP! PHD shaft is short

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but have you pulled the two halves apart?

Just pull on the quick coupler and they should slide apart. If they have been jammed during shipping, you may have to really jerk it. When you get it to slide be sure an grease the shafts.

The joint that is not attached to the post hole digger. The end that goes on the tractor PTO shaft. That is the end to pull on.

I feel so stupid...stupid...stupid /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif! The PHD comes with "2" manuals. 1 large and 1 very small. The small 1 that I just found explains shaft maintenance AND adjusting. Once again thanks for your help. Now I can sleep tonight! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Don't be so hard on yourself, that is one of the reasons that most of use are here (to learn). Did you get some shears bolts or pins?
