Woods RM59 Driveshaft

[Ballyroebuck]

I removed the roll pin on the drive shaft yoke at the mower, but the yoke won't budge. I need to have the driveshaft shortened. Any ideas on how to pull the driveshaft?

Just spoke to a tractor shop and was told some Woods RM59s were made to run backwards on a Kubota 6000 and have the 1" spline PTO shaft mine has. I guess I'd have to find blades that will work with it or turn the existing blades upside-down.

The only change should be the blades, pretty sure mine is just a round keyed shaft. Theres a parts breakdown somewhere on the web that i found but i didn't save the link.

Mines a rm59-2 my yoke is a clamp not a pin on. Your most likely going to need some heat.
