[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 151861, member: 2882"] Took a closer look at it last night and it's not a square shaft, but not the cheap-o kind like the one that came new with my brush mower... It's fairly heavy duty, it seems, and after looking it over a little more closely I decided that I really want to recover it. I think it's a mission now.. :lol: I took some bolt cutters and nipped away at the sleeve until I could see where the two pieces meet.. Didn't really look all that rusted, but it certainly wasn't clean.. I shot it w/ plenty of PB blaster (about half a can) and it did seem to be seeping down in between the sections of the shaft.. I'm going to hit it again tonight w/ PB, and then try again to seperate it.. Someone mentioned a come-along, which sounds like a good idea.. I'm thinking I'm going to take a similar route this time.. I'm gonna shackle my HiLift jack to the truck, then the PTO shaft to the jack, and then a tree to the PTO shaft.. Then, I'm gonna crank. If I bend the jack, I'll buy a new PTO shaft.. And HiLift.. :lol: [/QUOTE]
