I have a PTO adapter that recently came loose. In the process of fixing it I discovered that although loose I could not remove it. First I discover a set screw and thought I was home free....think again, 2nd I discovered an opposing set screw on the other side of the adapter once again home free...oh oh still won't come off, next in playing with it I determined that the short internal key was catching on one end. I used a skinny punch to go through the set screw hole that was above the key and reset the key by tapping with hammer. Adapter slid off....Geez why did I take it off?? I put it back together and tightened it up. This adapter was on a PTO pump shaft. Maybe something similar is hanging?
