[jeff pinkos]

That's probably just a stub shaft cover (see the attached picture) used to protect the splines. It should just slip on (and off) but might be frozen on (by rust) if it's been on the stub shaft for an extended period.
Before trying to pry it off, how about posting a picture (on this thread?

Some of the covers (maybe all) were threaded. So, it may screw off.

I've seen them with 2 or 3 little tabs and held on with screws too...that's why I'd like to see the pictures.

BTW, jeff pinkos...clean up the area around that PTO so we can see it clearly, please!

Soak it good with WD-40 or kerosene. It will screw off.
