PTO Shaft - locking collar

[snowman]

Thanks....I do keep the spline pretty well greased and cleaned, but I don't think that I've ever lubed the collar mechanism itself. It's always worked perfect, and the collar itself still slides easily. Won't have a chance until this Saturday to mess around with it; hoping the hammer solution will work.

Just a follow up - came off after tapping it with a hammer while pulling on it. Still took some effort to pull it off, so must have had alot of dirt get in there.

Thanks again for the responses.
