Bought an older post hole auger at auction the other day, knowing full well that the PTO shaft that came with it wouldn't 'telescope'.. :roll: The couplings/ujoints at the ends were a little rusty, but the shaft itself looked pretty clean.. I thought it was probably just a little light surface rust holding it up, and figured for sure I could just chain it between the tractor and a something solid and it jerk it apart...
Not so... Hooked it up between the tractor and the bottom of an old fence post, and it almost brought the post outta the ground.. I put a little slack in the chains a couple of times to 'shock' it with the tractor, and it still just jerked the post around...
I'm going to hose it down with PB blaster tonight and maybe try the chains again Saturday, but I'm not too optimistic about it.. Anybody got any tips, tricks, or ideas on how to get this puppy apart??
