Took some pictures of the carnage.
Here's one showing the bend on the "shaft" piece. Also shows the "tube" piece, and from that you should see how well worn it is (metal is really gouged up; and, the range of travel seems pretty well established, predating my use); there seems to be a slight distortion in this piece, though it's very slight (almost looks like it twisted a bit). The pieces don't slide together fully, which shouldn't be any surprise. I failed to fully inspect the PTO shaft before and after purchase.
Here's one showing the slip clutch and the U-joint there. Kind of hard to see, but one of the end caps is cracked/broken. And the U-joint itself is loose/failing.
Note the pin walking out in that second picture (tube yoke). I'm wanting to say that it's happening on the shaft yoke as well. That rust isn't new!
The shaft yoke is beat up from the event I encountered. I suspect it's not reusable. And given that the guard is also beat up it's looking like I'll be needing everything except the slip clutch (though now I'm not certain what condition that it is in- I thought that I was able to get it to slip; I set it to just shy of spec (a bit looser).
