My Stupidity kicked in at full throttle.

And your point? If mine came with a spline cover there is no reason to throw it away. Kubota felt the need to provide one.

Farmall 400,560,656, 1066, 1086, 7110, 7220, 7130 had none and it was never an issue. Wipe them off and go. The 574 did have one on the 1000 rpm shaft, it was a safety not a keep clean issue.

Farmall went out of business! If only they'd put a condom on their PTO's...

Cover for PTO shaft and driveline end. It's a two piece joint. Cover both.

39 bucks is pretty steep IMO. I never cover the female end on any of my powered implements, just the pto stub end.

I learned something today, in this discussion about PTO shafts.

There is more than one way to do things and they all work for people!

... and if you use Trojans for covering your PTO shaft, buy the un-lubricated variant. I think the lube is water-based.

At my age those are totally optional.

Pretty slick

My suggestion would be use a rachet strap to apply pressure while using an air chisel with a dull bit in it. Use it on very low pressure and just rattle around the outside when it moves tighten the strap. I use this practice on a lot of rusty things. It's not the amount of force exerted but about the beats per minute. I also might be inclined to spin it over several times with the tractor, being very watchful for movement. Probably do the same thing. Obviously without the rachet strap. We used to paint cars and we were doing a truck for a guy but could not get the wheels off to paint them. He told us to loosen the lug nuts and drive it a little. He said he did it every time he wanted to take the wheels off. It worked. We just backed them off 1/4 turn past contact.

Fashion a slide hammer of secure a length of chain around the yoke and give it the 'Towel snap" after pouring a couple gallons of Boiling Water over it. This after removing the zerk fitting and spraying your choice of lube into it. With the straw on the spray can try to lube the splines from both ends if you can get in there.
