I have a Bush Hog brand model 306 brush cutter. It has the slip clutch. The PTO shaft has a female and male and they will not fit together fully. They only engage about 3 or 4 inches. That makes it too long to fit to the PTO stub on the tractor and even if it did I feel it would be too little engagement for strong operation. Any ideas here to get it to fit together? The female round tube has a few small dents but I do not think it interferes. I have the internal spline lined up properly to engage. Thoughts?
Also I bought this used. Does the slip clutch have to be loosened/checked to make sure it is not stuck in any fashion. I think it was shedded most of the time but has some hour our of doors?
The Bush Hog is also a Cat II. The tractor is a Cat I. I have some bushings to fit the size differences but they need to be cut to fit. Any ideas on any way to handle this other than that? Thanks
