First I want to say a thanks to whom ever suggested to secure one end of a frozen PTO shaft and pull on the other end with a come-a-long while spraying PB Blaster on it. I obtained an old NH manure spreader and the PTO shaft would not telescope. After about a day with tension and some PB blaster it came loose.
So now the end that attaches to the tractor it pretty rusty. The button that locks the shaft on the PTO I think is beyond repair. I have been spraying it for several days and tapping it with a sledge and it will not budge. The yokes move very nicely on the crosses so I don't think I need to replace the whole thing. I was thinking of just replacing the one end with the PTO connection. I was looking at TSC and noticed there are various sizes. How do I determine which size fits the cross on this shaft? Also any suggestions on removing the rusty clips that hold the yoke on the cross?
