Hello,
I have a PTO shaft off of a 6' King Kutter bush hog. We are going to use this shaft on a potato digger but need to remove the slip clutch first. The clutch is stuck on very tight, we have heated it cherry red all the way around with a rosebud to little affect.
We have tried hammering it off, and twisting it off with a 48" pipe wrench. nothing is really moving it quickly or far. Our next step is to try a gear puller on it, however to do this we need to break apart the universal on the end of the PTO shaft, I have already removed the snap rings but I'm unsure what the next step is. At first I thought I could punch it out but it's looking more and more like the two sides were pressed in?
Anyone know how these things come apart, or have advice on how to better move the stuck clutch, yes it has been soaking in penetrating oil.
Thanks,
Erik Fellenz
